A. PERIAKARUPPAN CHETTIAR vs STATE OF TAMIL NADU & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the distribution of 75 marks by the Committee was illegal as it deviated from the directions provided in the previous judgment, which mandated equal distribution among various heads in the absence of specific guidelines. The Court emphasized that the Government alone had the authority to determine the mark distribution, and the Committee's actions were contrary to this principle, affecting the interview results. Consequently, the selections made by the Committee were deemed unsustainable, leading to the quashing of the selections.
