SR.LAW MANAGER,INDIAN OIL CORP.LD. vs GURU SHAKTI SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the selection process for an LPG distributorship by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. The Court held that the mere existence of a merit panel does not guarantee appointment, especially when irregularities in the selection process are alleged. The Court upheld the decision to conduct fresh interviews, emphasizing that the integrity of the selection process must be maintained, thus allowing the appellants to reassess candidates despite the first respondent's claims.
