SUBODH KUMAR vs STATE OF BIHAR . — C.A. No. 8358/2013

SUMMARY The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of Subodh Kumar's appeal, directing the State of Bihar to consider him for appointment on a vacant post left unfilled when the last selected candidate did not join. While acknowledging Kumar lacked a strict legal right under executive instructions regarding waiting lists, the Court exercised equity to require the State's consideration, explicitly stating this order was limited to the peculiar facts and circumstances and would not serve as precedent.
