Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of A. Savariar from service under the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, affirming the findings of the Madras High Court regarding his misconduct during the conduct of the Assistant Surgeon examination. The Court noted that Savariar violated Rule 17(b) of the Tamil Nadu Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules by improperly appointing invigilators without authorization, leading to a significant error in the examination process. The dismissal was deemed justified based on the severity of the charges and the impact on the examination's integrity.
