JASVINDER SINGH & ORS ETC.ETC. vs JASVINDER SINGH ETC.ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the selection process for Sub-Inspectors of Police in Jammu and Kashmir, emphasizing that the allocation of 25 marks for viva-voce, compared to 100 for the written test, violated the principle established in Ashok Kumar Yadav vs. State of Haryana (AIR 1987 SC 454). The Court upheld the Single Judge's ruling that the selection process was vitiated due to improper awarding of marks in the viva-voce and ordered the dismissal of the appeals against the High Court's decision. The Court reiterated the need for a fair and transparent selection process in public employment.
