Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of appointments made by the Bihar Public Service Commission for the post of Motor Vehicle Inspectors, emphasizing that the selection process must adhere to the qualifications and experience stipulated in the original advertisement. The Court held that the introduction of a new rule requiring a driving license should not retroactively affect the validity of the appointments made prior to its enactment. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's directive for fresh consideration by the Transport Commissioner, reaffirming the Commission's constitutional authority in the selection process.
