Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the selection process for the post of Sub-Inspector of Police in Assam, emphasizing adherence to the procedures outlined in the advertisement. The Court held that the Selection Committee's decision to limit interview calls to candidates scoring 40% in the written test was arbitrary and violated the principles of fair selection. Consequently, the Court directed that the selection process be revisited in accordance with the original advertisement's terms, ensuring all qualified candidates are considered.
