JASWANT SINGH NERWAL ETC. vs STATE OF PUNJAB AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of Bansal, quashing the High Court's order that required him to compete again for the Punjab Civil Service Officer position. The Court held that there was no evidence of bias or mala fides against the other members of the Public Service Commission, despite Bansal's father being a member. The judgment distinguished the case from A.K. Kraipak & Ors. v. Union of India, affirming the decision in Javid Rasool Bhat & Ors. v. State of Jammu & Kashmir, and emphasized the integrity of the selection process without undue influence from Bansal's father.
