Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Biju K.K. challenging the High Court's decision which upheld the dismissal of his writ petition regarding his placement in the rank list for the Technical Assistant Grade-II position. The court found that the High Court correctly determined that the appellant's prior daily wage service was not considered in the ranking process, as it did not meet the requisite qualifications for experience. Consequently, the court upheld the legality of the appointment of the candidate ranked above him.
