Sanjay Kumar Mishra vs District Judge, Ambedkar Nagar

The Supreme Court examined whether appointments made beyond the notified vacancies in a recruitment process were justified.

The courts below had upheld the termination due to excess appointments. The Supreme Court considered the legal provisions and previous rulings, ultimately emphasizing the importance of adhering to the notified vacancies and procedural rules in appointments.
