Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Railway Board's order dated 04.06.2004, which mandated a re-test for candidates who had qualified in the initial written examination for Group-D posts due to identified irregularities, including mass copying and question paper leakage. The Court emphasized that the decision was justified to ensure fairness and integrity in the recruitment process, aligning with principles of administrative fairness. The outcome affirmed the Railway Board's authority to conduct a re-test under the circumstances presented.
