ARUNACHAL PRADESH PUBLIC SERV.COMM. vs TAGE HABUNG .

The Supreme Court ruled that the Office Memorandum dated 7th January 2008, which set a cut-off of 33% for the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Combined Competitive Examination, is permissible even after the commencement of the recruitment process. The Court held that the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission had the authority to adopt the cut-off marks as per the policy decision of the State Government, thus validating the evaluation process for candidates who had already taken the examination. The judgment affirmed the High Court's decision to allow the writ petition challenging the earlier cut-off of 40%.
