P.S.E.B. vs MALKIAT SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the appellant-Board's revised policy decision dated 2.6.1998, which limited employment opportunities to landowners whose acquired land was two acres or more. The Court held that the respondent, whose land was less than two acres, was not entitled to priority employment under the scheme, affirming the Board's discretion in policy formulation. The judgment emphasized that mere recommendation by a committee does not confer a right to appointment, thus upholding the High Court's decision to dismiss the respondent's writ petition.
