Mahesh v.M., v. State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
Applicants challenging the rejection of a writ petition sought directions to the Kerala State Electricity Board to report more vacancies for Assistant Engineer appointments from an expiring rank list. The bench observed that temporary upgradations did not create new posts and there were only two actual vacancies requiring reporting.
