Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the appointment orders of Group 'D' staff, citing that the recruitment process violated principles of transparency and fairness. The Court emphasized that the employer cannot alter the selection criteria after the process has begun, as established in Ramesh Kumar v. High Court of Delhi, AIR 2010 SC 3714. The Court affirmed the need for adherence to prescribed recruitment rules, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
