The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the validity of the appointment of certain members to the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission under Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the appointments were made in violation of the prescribed procedure, thus infringing the rights of eligible candidates. Consequently, the appointments were quashed, and the State was directed to initiate a fresh selection process in accordance with the law.
