Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Section 13(4) of the U.P. Higher Education Services Commission Act, 1998, holding that vacancies to be filled under this provision include not only those arising from death or resignation but also any other vacancies occurring until a new list is provided by the Commission under Section 13(2). The Court emphasized the need for clarity in the appointment process to prevent favoritism and ensure merit-based selections. The appeal was decided in favor of the interpretation that supports broader inclusion of vacancies.
