Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that Section 133(2)(b) of the Jammu and Kashmir Constitution mandates consultation with the Public Service Commission regarding the principles for appointments and the suitability of candidates for promotions. The Court clarified that it is not necessary for all Commission members to interview candidates, as long as the Commission retains the right to approve the committee's recommendations. The High Court's ruling that the Commission was not consulted appropriately was overturned, affirming that the consultation requirements were met in this case.
