Tej Prakash Pathak vs Rajasthan High Court

The Supreme Court referred the matter regarding recruitment procedures under 'The Rajasthan High Court Staff Service Rules 2002' to a larger bench, questioning the applicability of established principles that prevent changes to eligibility criteria once recruitment has commenced. The Court noted the need for clarity on whether the same principles apply to selection procedures, citing the earlier decisions in K. Manjusree and Subash Chander Marwaha. The outcome was a directive for an authoritative pronouncement on the subject, indicating the importance of maintaining fairness in recruitment processes under Article 229(2) of the Constitution.
