As per the case facts, the dispute originated from a notification for filling vacancies of primary school teachers, with specific qualification criteria. The High Court had issued directions concerning appointments ... to these vacancies. The question arose whether further appointments were permissible from an earlier recruitment process when a fresh recruitment process had already commenced. Finally, the Supreme Court set aside the impugned judgment of the Division Bench and the earlier direction of the Single Judge. The Court ruled that the petitioners and others in their group did not have any legitimate claim for appointments to the remaining vacancies from the recruitment process initiated earlier when a new recruitment process had already begun. The appeals were allowed, and pending applications were disposed of.
