Muhamed Basheer K v. Manager
Case brief
What is this about?
Two interconnected writ petitions over promotion to HSST (English). The court found the teacher had acknowledged notice of the interview and held that a defective relinquishment letter does not invalidate selection-based appointment. Orders declining approval were quashed and approval of the appointment directed; the rival senior claimant's petition was dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Exts.P9 and P13 quashed; second respondent directed to approve Mohammed Basheer as HSST (English) with benefits within one month plus three months.
