Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision to quash the selection process for Class IV employees in the Civil Hospital, Nawanshahr, citing lack of transparency and arbitrary discretion in awarding marks during interviews. The Court noted that no criteria were established for evaluating candidates, leading to potential discrimination and unfairness in the selection process. The judgment emphasized the necessity for a fair and transparent selection process in public employment, aligning with principles of Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
