Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to stay the selection process initiated by the Commission, emphasizing that the Government can amend recruitment rules before an advertisement is issued. The Court clarified that candidates do not have a vested right to selection until they are called for an interview, and the Government's decision to withdraw requisition does not interfere with any such right. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant could not claim a vested right to selection given the Government's prior communication regarding rule amendments.
