Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the creation of posts is within the domain of executive authority and not the judiciary, referencing the precedent in Divisional Manager, Aravali Golf Club & Anr. Vs. Chander Hass & Anr. The Court emphasized that it cannot direct the creation of posts, as this is a prerogative of executive or legislative authorities. Consequently, the orders of the learned single Judge and the Division Bench directing the creation of an additional post were set aside, and the appeal was allowed.
