Rakhi Ray & Ors vs High Court Of Delhi & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Delhi High Court failed to consider anticipated vacancies while conducting the selection process for District Judges, as mandated by the judgment in Malik Mazhar Sultan v. U.P. Public Service Commission (2007) 2 SCALE 159. The Court emphasized that the selection list should be utilized to fill vacancies that arise after the advertisement, including those anticipated due to retirements and other factors. Consequently, the Court directed the respondents to offer appointments to the appellants from the select list, thereby ensuring adherence to the principles established in the earlier case.
