Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of certain appointments made by the State of Rajasthan, emphasizing compliance with Article 14 and Article 16 of the Constitution of India, which guarantee equality and prohibit discrimination in public employment. The Court held that the appointments in question were invalid due to non-adherence to the prescribed selection process, thereby reinforcing the principle that all public appointments must be made transparently and fairly. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the appointments were quashed, ensuring adherence to constitutional mandates.
