Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of appointment to the post of Deputy Director (Law) in the Competition Commission of India, specifically regarding the alteration of the selection process mid-way after the recruitment had commenced. The Court held that such a change in the mode of selection was impermissible and violated the principles of transparency and fairness in recruitment. Consequently, the Court ruled in favor of the appellants, emphasizing the need for adherence to the originally prescribed selection criteria as per the notification dated 11th November 2009.
