SMT. BEENA TIWARI & ANR. ETC. vs STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH & ANR. ETC.

The Supreme Court held that the question of confirmation of members of the Subordinate Judicial Service falls exclusively under Article 235 of the Constitution, which grants the High Court control over subordinate courts. The Court ruled that the provisions of Rule 3-A of the Madhya Pradesh Government Servants (Temporary and Quasi-Permanent) Service Rules, 1960, do not apply to such members, as confirmation is solely within the High Court's purview. Consequently, the termination of the appellants' services was upheld, affirming the High Court's decision that the resolution regarding their unfitness for confirmation was valid.
