SHEO SHYAM vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court held that the validity of the waiting list for appointments should be reckoned from the date of the last recommendation made by the Union Public Service Commission, rather than the first recommendation date. The Court emphasized that there is no statutory rule governing this situation, and the State Government's office memorandums support the appellants' position that the waiting list remains valid beyond one year if not utilized. Consequently, the Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's judgment, ruling in favor of the appellants.
