Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the appointment orders for Group 'D' staff, citing that the inclusion of interview marks in the selection process was impermissible as it was not part of the recruitment rules. The Court emphasized that the employer cannot alter the selection criteria after the process has commenced, reinforcing the principle of transparency in recruitment. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the need for adherence to established recruitment procedures under the relevant administrative rules.
