Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the written examination by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission was unjustified as no defects were pointed out regarding the examination itself. The Court established that the appropriate remedy would have been to conduct fresh interviews for all eligible candidates based on the written examination results. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's judgment, vacated the cancellation order, and directed that the results of the written examination be sustained for the purpose of the interview and subsequent selection process.
