Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that a selectee does not have an indefeasible right to appointment, emphasizing that mere selection does not confer an enforceable right. The Court criticized the High Court for acting as an Executing Court under Article 226 of the Constitution, stating that such power is only applicable in cases of miscarriage of justice or apparent errors of law. Consequently, the orders of the High Court and the tribunal were set aside, and the appeals were allowed.
