Case History
Case Summary: State of Rajasthan v. Teeja Devi Swami (C.A. 4072-4073/2004) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the State of Rajasthan's appeals and set aside the High Court's impugned order dated 13.11.2003. The Court held that appointment of government advocates is a state prerogative and rejected the High Court's direction to constitute a Selection Committee and frame a scheme for such appointments. However, the Court emphasized that the State must appoint only competent persons to ensure effective assistance to courts and prevent favoritism in the selection process. No order as to costs was imposed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
