Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of appointments of candidates who qualified the 6th Combined Civil Services Examination, 2016, conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission. The court found that the appointments were valid as they were made based on the recommendations of the Commission and after the candidates completed their probation. The court ultimately set aside the High Court's decision that upheld the cancellation of these appointments, thereby reinstating the candidates.
