Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's direction for the Public Service Commission to consider the writ petitioners for recruitment, as they had obtained duly recognized degrees and were qualified. The Court clarified that the Public Service Commission's duty is to conduct recruitment based on the appointing authority's request, irrespective of how the State accommodates the candidates. The appeals by the State Government were dismissed, affirming that the Public Service Commission is merely an agency for recruitment, and the responsibility for appointments lies with the State.
