U.P. PUBLIC SERVICES COMMISSION vs SUBHASH CHANDRA DIXIT .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court which set aside the merit list prepared by the Uttar Pradesh Public Services Commission (U.P.P.S.C.) for the Civil Judge (Junior Division) Examination, 2000, due to the arbitrary application of a scaling system for marks. The Court emphasized that the merit list must be based on actual marks secured by candidates without any scaling, thereby reinforcing the principle of fairness in competitive examinations. The appeals by U.P.P.S.C. were dismissed, and the merit list was directed to be prepared afresh.
