BIHAR PUBLIC SERVICE COMMN. vs VINOY KUMAR SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Bihar Public Service Commission lacked authority to take action against a candidate for alleged misconduct after the publication of examination results, as there were no specific rules permitting such actions. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to principles of natural justice, noting that the candidate's request to inspect answer sheets was denied. Consequently, the Court affirmed the High Court's order to treat the candidate as successful but refrained from directing the Commission to appoint him to any post, as that was beyond the writ petition's scope.
