Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the cancellation of examinations conducted by the District Selection Committee in Anantapur District, holding that the cancellation was arbitrary and violated Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the Government's decision lacked sufficient legal basis and was discriminatory, as similar examinations in other districts were not cancelled despite comparable allegations. Consequently, the Court directed the publication of results for the examinations held in Anantapur District, thereby upholding the rights of the candidates affected by the arbitrary action.
