Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of irregularities in the appointment of Class IV employees in subordinate courts, emphasizing the need for centralized recruitment to ensure transparency and fairness. The Court invoked Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution of India, asserting that appointments must adhere to the principles of equality of opportunity and that illegal appointments cannot be legitimized. The Court directed that guidelines be established to prevent corruption and favoritism in judicial appointments, thereby reinforcing the rule of law as a fundamental constitutional principle.
