MOHINDER SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA . — SLP(C) No. 14877/2006

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Mohinder Singh's special leave petitions challenging the High Court's dismissal of his writ petition seeking appointment as D.P.E. (Directorate of Public Education). Singh, who was serving in the Indian Army when he applied for the D.P.E. position in December 1999, was ineligible for ex-serviceman benefits because he had more than one year of remaining service; the 1982 Government of India policy permits ex-servicemen to apply only within twelve months before discharge. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that Singh was not entitled to the mandamus and found his recall application wholly meritless.
