Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to appoint Sandeep Kaushik as a driver with the Delhi Transport Corporation, emphasizing the need for timely action in recruitment processes. The court noted that despite the long delay since the initial requisition in 2007, the appointment was justified based on merit and seniority, although it denied back wages. The ruling reinforces the importance of adhering to recruitment timelines and the rights of candidates awaiting appointment.
