STATE OF PUNJAB vs MANJIT SINGH .

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Punjab Public Service Commission's decision to conduct a screening test and set minimum qualifying marks for recruitment of Medical Officers, questioning its compliance with constitutional mandates. The Court held that the Commission's actions were arbitrary and discriminatory, violating principles of fairness in public service selection as outlined in Article 14 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's directive for the Commission to interview all eligible candidates and declare results based on merit.
