Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of Writ Petitions challenging the revised merit list for recruitment to Subedars, Platoon Commanders, and Sub-Inspectors in Chhattisgarh. The Court found that the Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board acted within its authority under the relevant recruitment rules to re-evaluate answer scripts due to identified errors in examination questions. The Court held that the re-evaluation process was not arbitrary and confirmed the validity of the revised merit list, thereby dismissing the appeals of the candidates whose appointments were cancelled.
