MD. RAISUL ISLAM vs GOKUL MOHAN HAZARIKA .

The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Assam Civil Services (Class-I) (Amendment) Rules, 1986, which altered the recruitment process for ACS Class-I and Class-II officers. The Court held that the amendments made by the Government of Assam, particularly the removal of the 50% promotion quota, were valid and did not violate the principles of natural justice or the rights of the candidates. The Court emphasized that the amendments were prospective and aimed at improving the efficiency of the recruitment process under Rule 4 of the Assam Civil Services (Class-I) Rules, 1960.
