No Protected Office Attendant Available | Appointment Permissible Without Prior Approval Under Government Orders : Kerala HC

The Kerala High Court ruled that when no protected office attendant is available for a vacancy, the government cannot require prior permission from the Deputy Director of Education to appoint a non-protected candidate. This clarifies that existing government directives override procedural overreach, ensuring timely staffing in public schools and protecting candidates from arbitrary delays in public employment.
