Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition challenging the selection process for the post of Assistant Sub Inspector, affirming the Punjab and Haryana High Court's judgment. The Court held that the selection was based on merit, with 75% weightage given to the written examination and 25% to the interview, and that no weightage could be given for previous temporary promotion as it would create an unfair advantage. The Court found no illegality or arbitrariness in the selection process, thus upholding the High Court's decision.
