Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Haryana Staff Selection Commission violated its own policy by destroying answer sheets, contrary to the resolution dated 1.10.1994. The Court emphasized the importance of transparency in recruitment processes, particularly under the Right to Information Act, 2005. However, it upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition, affirming that the appellant did not secure sufficient marks for selection and that no malafides were established against the Commission's officials.
