In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed Civil Appeals arising from Special Leave Petitions challenging teacher selection and appointments in Tripura. The Court held that illegal and invalid selections cannot confer additional benefits on candidates. However, unsuccessful candidates who are competent and eligible can continue attempting selection for teacher posts, and those who fail may retain alternate employment offered by the State without degradation. The Court rejected contentions regarding age relaxation and related issues under Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution.
