Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's ruling that declared the 100% reservation for local candidates in Jharkhand's Trained Graduate Teacher appointments as unconstitutional. The court reasoned that the reservation policy was in line with the state's commitment to promote local employment and address historical injustices. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the validity of the state government's notifications and advertisements related to the appointments.
