High Court Of Judicature For Rajasthan vs Veena Verma And Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of recruitment vacancies in the Rajasthan Higher Judicial Service (RHJS) under the Rajasthan Higher Judicial Service Rules, 1969. The Court held that the calculation of vacancies must be accurate, as per Rule 6 and Rule 9 of the Rules, which stipulate the strength of service and the ratio of direct recruits to promotees. The Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's directive to reassess the number of vacancies, emphasizing that if the vacancies were indeed more than seven, the petitioner Veena Verma would be entitled to appointment as the 8th selected candidate.
