Arun Kumar Nayak vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order quashing the selection process for the Extra Departmental Sub Post Master position, emphasizing the need for a fair selection process as mandated by the corrigendum issued in compliance with the directions from Excise Superintendent Malkapatnam case (1996) 6 SCC 216. The Court found that the selection was flawed as it disregarded the public notification and the eligibility of other candidates, particularly those from the OBC category. The Court directed that a fresh selection process be conducted, ensuring all eligible candidates are considered.
