Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the Uttar Pradesh Police Motor Transport Unit Subordinate Officers Service Rules, 2015, which altered the selection process for the post of Head Constable Driver. The court upheld the validity of the 2015 Rules, emphasizing the state's authority to regulate service conditions under the Police Act, 1861. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the new rules did not violate any established rights of the appellants.
