Deependra Yadav vs State Of M.P.

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of an amendment to Rule 4 of the Madhya Pradesh State Service Examination Rules, 2015, which altered the method of preparing the select list for recruitment. The Court held that the amendment, which was applied during an ongoing recruitment process, was invalid as it violated the principles of fairness and transparency in public service recruitment. Consequently, the Court restored the original provisions of the Rules of 2015, emphasizing adherence to the established norms under Article 309 of the Constitution of India.
