ASHOK KUMAR YADAV AND ORS. ETC. ETC. vs STATE OF HARYANA AND ORS. ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the recruitment process for Haryana Civil Service under Article 316 and Article 226 of the Constitution of India, emphasizing the necessity for the Public Service Commission to ensure integrity and qualifications of its members. The Court held that the High Court's condemnatory remarks against the Commission's Chairman and members, made without them being parties to the proceedings, were unjustified. The Court also provided guidelines for the viva voce examination process, affirming that the selection of candidates must be free from arbitrariness and bias, particularly concerning the allocation of marks for ex-servicemen.
