STATE OF BIHAR . vs SAMSUZ ZOHA — C.A. No. 7086 - 7087/1996

Case Summary: State of Bihar v. Samsuz Zoha (1996) The Supreme Court allowed Bihar's appeals against the High Court's orders directing compassionate ground appointees to be promoted to Class III posts. The Court held that the State's policy decision to appoint all eligible candidates to available Class IV posts was justified and legal, and the High Court was not justified in directing Class III appointments, as this would improperly convert Class IV posts into Class III positions, contrary to service discipline. Accordingly, the Court directed that appointees be considered for available Class IV vacancies in order of seniority.
