Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Haryana Public Service Commission acted within its authority in recommending 30 candidates for appointment as Principals, despite an initial advertisement for only 18 posts, as the requisition from the State Education Department had increased the vacancies to 37. The Court reversed the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision, affirming that all 30 candidates were entitled to appointment based on the Commission's recommendations. The Court's ruling emphasized the validity of the Commission's actions under the relevant statutory framework, thereby upholding the appointments made on 26.5.2000.
