All India Sc & St Employees Assn.& Anr vs A. Arthur Jeen & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the selection process for the posts of Khalasis by the Railway Board, which was challenged in various O.As. before the Central Administrative Tribunal. The Court held that the selection process was flawed due to the arbitrary increase in vacancies from 330 to 917 without proper justification, violating principles of fair selection as mandated by administrative guidelines. Consequently, the Court upheld the Tribunal's decision to quash the panel of selected candidates, emphasizing adherence to established procedures under the Indian Railway Establishment Manual.
