Rajesh Awasthi vs Nand Lal Jaiswal & Ors on 19 October, 2012
The
Apex Court in Rajesh Awasthi versus Nand Lal Jaiswal & Others (2013)
1 SCC 501 has categorically noted that a writ of quo warranto will lie when
appointment is made contrary to the statutory provisions. In the present case,
since appointment has been made contrary to the statutory provisions, writ
petition is maintainable challenging the such illegal appointments.
