Ravi Oraon vs State of Jharkhand 2025 INSC 1212 - Jharkhand Primary School Teacher Appointment Rules- Natural Justice

Jharkhand Primary School Teacher Appointment Rules, 2012 - Rule 4,21- The procedure that Rule 21 enshrined is only to be used for the purpose of preparation of merit list and Rule 4 does not provide for exclusion of marks secured in the vocational subject (Para 36) - Marks secured in the vocational subject is a way for a candidate to improve his/her overall percentage of marks -A vocational subject, though optional, would place an additional burden on an examinee which he/she shoulders in the fervent hope of improving his/her overall percentage.  (Para 23)

Natural Justice - where the noticee successfully defends the charge against him but is made to suffer civil consequences because the notifier finds the noticee guilty of a different charge in respect whereof he is not put to notice. In such a case, the finding of guilt which is at variance with the original charge without proper opportunity to respond offends due process and renders any order or action unsustainable. (Para 33)
