RAMJAN ALI vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL . — C.A. No. 2899/2014

Summary: Ramjan Ali v. State of West Bengal (CA 2899/2014) The Supreme Court allowed Ramjan Ali's appeal and set aside the High Court's rejection of his appointment as Assistant Teacher in Arabic. Although Ali qualified in Arabic as an "additional subject" with 300 marks (rather than as a "combination subject"), the Court found him eligible because: (1) the maximum marks for his qualification equaled 300 marks, meeting the statutory threshold, and (2) the curriculum he pursued matched that of combination-subject candidates. The Court directed West Bengal to appoint him as Assistant Teacher immediately, with the appointment relating back to the original selection date, though wages would commence from the judgment date.
