Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of the recruitment process for Constables in the CBI, which was initially conducted in accordance with the prescribed qualifications and procedures. The Court held that the cancellation was arbitrary and violated principles of natural justice, as the candidates had already undergone selection and medical tests. The Court reinstated the selection process, emphasizing the need for transparency and fairness in recruitment under Article 14 of the Constitution.
