Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to set aside the selection list for Drivers issued by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, ruling that the selection process violated Circular No.15/95 dated 4.4.1995, which should have governed the selection criteria. The Court found that the arbitrary allotment of marks by the Selection Committee rendered the Driving Test results insignificant, thus necessitating a reconsideration of the petitioners' claims for selection. The judgment emphasized adherence to established circulars over newer, arbitrary directives.
