BIHAR PUBLIC SERVICE COMMN. vs SAIYED HUSSAIN ABBAS RIZWI

The Supreme Court held that the Bihar Public Service Commission's decision to select candidates based solely on a viva voce test, without conducting a written examination, was valid under the provisions of the advertisement issued. The Court emphasized the importance of transparency in public recruitment processes, referencing the Right to Information Act, 2005, particularly Section 8(1)(g), which allows withholding information that could endanger the life or physical safety of a person. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow the disclosure of certain information while maintaining the confidentiality of the Interview Board members' identities.
