In Brief
Eighteen teachers selected for Grade III (General) posts in Rajasthan faced potential dismissal after the High Court revised the merit list to correct marking errors. Although the High Court directed benefits to the appellants, the revision process sought to remove them. The Supreme Court invoked Article 142 of the Constitution to grant complete justice, directing the State to continue their employment, treating them as validly selected and appointed. The Court found this appropriate given the applicants' continuous service, available vacancies, and the limited number of people affected.
