IN RE.. vs MEHAR SINGH SAINI,CHAIRMAN HPSC & ORS.

The Supreme Court emphasized the constitutional mandate under Articles 315 to 320, which establishes the Union and State Public Service Commissions to ensure independence, integrity, and fairness in public service appointments. The Court highlighted that these Commissions are autonomous bodies, free from external influence, and that the process for removal of their members is deliberately cumbersome to protect their autonomy. The ruling reinforces the importance of impartiality and integrity in the selection process for civil services, aligning with the framers' intent to secure an efficient civil service.
