Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court, affirming the order that directed the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission to consider the appointment of the respondent for the post of Chief Municipal Officer. The court found that the commission had failed to adhere to the eligibility criteria set forth in their own advertisement, thus necessitating the reconsideration of the respondent's application. The ruling emphasizes the importance of transparency and adherence to established procedures in public service appointments.
