Pankaj Sharma vs State Of Jammu & Kashmir & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the selection process conducted by the Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission for filling 132 Gazetted Service posts. The Court held that the process was flawed due to the presence of spelling mistakes, printing errors, and improper decision-making by the Commission, which did not involve a majority of its members. Consequently, the Court directed the Commission to conduct the Preliminary Examination afresh in accordance with the law, thereby upholding the petitioners' challenge against the Commission's decision.
