Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala Administrative Tribunal's directive for the Kerala Public Service Commission to expand the rank lists for the post of Junior Health Inspector Grade-II due to unfilled vacancies caused by the selection process. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to fair recruitment practices as mandated by the Kerala Public Service Commission Act. The decision reinforced the principle that administrative bodies must act within the bounds of fairness and transparency in recruitment, ultimately directing KPSC to comply with the Tribunal's recommendations for filling vacancies.
