STATE OF ORISSA vs MAKAR C ROUTRAY — C.A. No. 1379/1998

On 18 September 2003, the Supreme Court allowed the State of Orissa's appeal against Makar Chandra Routray, setting aside the High Court's judgment. The Court held that Routray, appointed as Headmaster-in-charge, could not claim any vested right based on that appointment even though it was approved by competent authority. However, the Court clarified that if any Headmaster vacancy arises, Routray would be considered eligible for future appointment consideration. No costs were awarded.
