Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the selection process for Medical Technologists in West Bengal, emphasizing that the selection must consider both written examination and oral interview scores as per principles of fairness and transparency. The Court held that the preparation of the panel solely based on oral interview marks was arbitrary and unreasonable, violating the principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Court set aside the selection list and directed the authorities to re-evaluate candidates based on a combined merit list.
