Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to set aside the selection list for Drivers by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, emphasizing that the selection process must adhere to Circular No.15/95 dated 4.4.1995, which was in effect at the time of application. The Court found Circular No.17/96 arbitrary and not applicable retrospectively, thus ensuring that the claims of the ten petitioners are to be reconsidered for selection. The judgment reinforces the principle that selection processes must follow established guidelines to ensure fairness and transparency.
