Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted permission to file Special Leave Petitions challenging the Full Bench judgment of the Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding the recruitment of clerks in Haryana. The Court held that the High Court's direction to keep the selection list prepared on 15th October 1989 alive for future appointments was valid, as the State did not challenge the earlier decision in Sudesh Kumari's case. The Court emphasized that candidates higher in merit than the last appointed individual are entitled to appointment, thereby upholding the rights of those not yet appointed from the list.
