UNION TERRITORY OF CHANDIGARH vs DILBAGH SINGH AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the select list for conductor appointments by the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking was valid despite criticism of favoritism, as the selection process was found to be unfair and injudicious. The Court emphasized that the principles of natural justice do not require affording an opportunity to the Selection Board members before cancellation, as there was no evidence of corruption. The appeal was allowed, affirming the Administration's decision to constitute a new Selection Board and prepare a fresh select list based on revised criteria.
