Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Allahabad High Court's quashing of the Recruitment Rules 2005 was improper as it was done without notice to the appellants and without a detailed examination of the matter, violating established legal procedures. The Court emphasized that challenges to recruitment rules require thorough scrutiny, including the opportunity for a counter affidavit. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition and reinstated the Recruitment Rules, affirming the need for adherence to procedural fairness under Article 14 of the Constitution.
