P.S.E.B. vs MALKIAT SINGH — C.A. No. 6116/1999

Case Summary: P.S.E.B. v. Malkiat Singh (C.A. No. 006116/1999) The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's judgment and dismissed Malkiat Singh's writ petition. The Court held that Singh had no vested right to appointment merely by being recommended under the Board's 1994 rehabilitation policy for land-displaced persons. Since the Homeopathic Physician post was created in 1998 (after the 1994 policy and subsequent 1998 policy revisions), Singh could not claim appointment to it. Additionally, under the revised 1998 criteria, Singh was ineligible—his acquired land was under 2 acres and he was over-aged with no relaxations permitted.
