Supreme Court Of India

Hon'ble Judge(s): Dipal Misra, Vikramajit Sen , JJ

Constitution of India , Art.16— Appointment - Post of Assistant Teacher (Language) L.T. Grade - Respondent failed to include his Marksheet along with his Application Form made full compliance by personally filing his Marksheet on 12.11.1997 - Keeping in perspective the fact that corrigendum has been issued preponing last date of submission of Forms from 21.11.1997 to 10.11.1997, it would have been advisable and prudent to infuse some elasticity or laxity in the observance of the last date for submission of forms - Last appointed candidate had 55.6 quality points whereas respondent possessed much higher merit, i.e. 58.4 quality points - Respondent directed to be appointed. (Para 4 6)
