Union Of India & Ors vs Rajesh P.U., Puthuvalnikathu & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of the recruitment process for Constables in the CBI, which was challenged by the selected candidate under OA No.327 of 2001 after the CBI cancelled the selections due to allegations of favoritism. The Court held that the CBI acted within its authority under the relevant recruitment rules and that the cancellation was justified based on the findings of an internal inquiry. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal, thereby upholding the CBI's cancellation of the recruitment process.
