Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether the appointment of the respondent as a Lower Division Clerk from the ex-casual labourers category was justified under the reservation policy of the Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board (APSEB). The High Court had directed the appellant to consider the respondent for appointment or suitable posts, which the appellant challenged. The Court analyzed the relevant notification and policies, emphasizing the importance of adhering to reservation guidelines and procedural fairness. Ultimately, the Court upheld the decision of the High Court, affirming the respondent's claim for appointment.
