STATE OF PUNJAB vs SALIL SABHLOK .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the High Court can establish the procedure for the selection and appointment of the Chairman of the State Public Service Commission under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court held that while Article 316 does not specify a procedure, the appointment must adhere to principles of integrity and impartiality, as emphasized in prior judgments including In R/O Dr. Ram Ashray Yadav and others. The Court affirmed the High Court's authority to quash appointments that do not meet these standards, thereby upholding the need for a regulated selection process.
