RACHNA RANI vs STATE OF U.P. . — C.A. No. 5679/2006

Summary of C.A. No. 005679/2006 (Rachna Rani v. State of U.P.) The Supreme Court allowed Rachna Rani's appeal on December 8, 2006, setting aside the High Court's Division Bench order that had quashed her appointment as a lecturer. The Court found that the High Court erred by relying on an outdated 1978 Government Order instead of Rule 10 of the U.P. Secondary Education Services Selection Board Rules, 1998, which permitted direct recruitment when no eligible Scheduled Caste candidates were available for promotion. The Court upheld Rani's appointment and ratified the Single Judge's original order in her favor. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
