SANJOY BHATTACHARJEE vs U O I

The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the Central Administrative Tribunal's order, which held that being placed on a select list does not confer a right to appointment. The Court affirmed that after filling the notified vacancies, subsequent selections must be made from the open market, consistent with Articles 14 and 16(1) of the Constitution. The petitioner had no vested right to appointment as he was not ranked high enough to warrant grievance, and thus the Tribunal's decision was justified.
