Parimal Kumar vs The State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a High Court order allowing private respondents, who cleared the CTET or STET, to participate in teacher recruitment in Jharkhand. The court emphasized the importance of merit-based selection and the constitutional mandate for fair recruitment processes. It highlighted the need to uphold the standards of teacher eligibility tests and the integrity of the recruitment process. The court ultimately set aside the High Court's order to maintain the sanctity of the eligibility criteria.
