Monika Gupta vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the cancellation of a merit list for the appointment of an LPG distributor by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, as per the order dated 29.7.2008. The Court held that the cancellation was justified due to the discovery of anomalies in the evaluation process, which violated the criteria set forth in the selection brochure. The Court upheld the decision of the Chief Regional Manager to prepare a fresh merit list after proper evaluation and interviews, affirming the need for transparency and fairness in public sector recruitment processes.
