Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of appointments to Class III posts in the Jharkhand State Electricity Board, which were set aside by the High Court. The Court considered whether the High Court's reversal of the appointments was justified and whether the procedural and substantive requirements for such appointments were met. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the appointments were not in accordance with law. The judgment emphasizes adherence to proper appointment procedures and merit-based selection in public employment.
