SANJAY GUPTA vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's order dismissing the writ petition filed by the appellants, who claimed to have been appointed as Registration Clerks after proper selection. The Court noted that the High Court failed to address the issue of whether the appointment complied with Rule 22 of the Subordinate Offices Ministerial Staff (District Recruitment) Rules, 1985, which requires advertisement for recruitment. The matter was remitted to the High Court for consideration on merits, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of the selection process.
