Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision regarding the recruitment process for Class-III and Class-IV posts, confirming the quashing of select lists dated 4.11.2004 and 5.11.2004 due to large-scale interpolations in answer sheets. The Court held that the selection of one driver and one stenographer was valid, but the selection of other candidates was set aside. The Court clarified that the District Judge must conduct a fresh written competitive test confined to candidates who had applied under the original notification, rejecting the argument for fresh applications as unwarranted.
