1998 (7) TMI 714 - SCH - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court of India allowed the appeal in a case where the High Court had set aside the selection of the appellant for the post of Clerk in Sailo Gram Panchayat High School due to a perceived relationship between the appellant and a member of the Selection Committee. The Court found that the degree of relationship was remote by six degrees, not constituting near relation as per Rule 31(1) of the Orissa Education Rules. Therefore, the High Court's decision was set aside, and the appeal was allowed with no costs imposed.
