Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court emphasized the constitutional mandate under Articles 315 to 320, which establishes the independence and integrity of the Union and State Public Service Commissions. The Court clarified that these Commissions are autonomous bodies, distinct from All India Services, and are designed to ensure fair selection processes for public appointments. It held that the removal of the Chairman or Members of the Commission is subject to a stringent process involving the President and the Supreme Court, thereby reinforcing their security of tenure and autonomy.
