Cmd/Chairman,. B.S.N.L. & Ors vs Mishri Lal & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's quashing of the Recruitment Rules 2005 was improper as it was done without proper notice to the appellants and without a detailed examination of the matter, violating established legal procedures. The Court emphasized that challenges to recruitment rules must involve a thorough inquiry, including the opportunity for counter affidavits. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition and upheld the validity of the Recruitment Rules, reinforcing the necessity of following due process in administrative matters under Article 309 of the Constitution.
