The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of the appeals challenging the High Court's judgment regarding compensatory costs of Rs. 2,000 per candidate whose admissions were cancelled. While upholding the State Government's obligation to pay compensation, the Court set aside the direction to recover the amount from the Education Officer's salary or assets, ruling instead that the Officer's personal liability must be determined through an inquiry, with recovery permitted only if he is found personally responsible. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
