casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary Kailash Chand Sharma v. State of Rajasthan (C.A. No. 004417/2002) The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that bonus marks (10 marks for district residence, 5 marks for rural area residence) awarded to primary school teacher candidates in Rajasthan violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution as impermissible discrimination based on residence. The Court rejected the State's justifications including teacher retention and dialect familiarity, finding them lacking empirical foundation. Relief was confined prospectively to unsuccessful petitioners, protecting appointments made before 18.11.1999.
