Case Summary: D. Karthik v. Principal, Mahatma Gandhi Dental College Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed D. Karthik's appeal and directed that his appointment as Dental Mechanic remain undisturbed.

The appeals were disposed of accordingly on July 19, 2017. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
