Service Law Updates : Challenge to Select List Fails
In this case, the petitioner had challenged the select list. She was earlier employed and had applied for the recruitment of a post and even appeared in the interview, but could not get selected.
During the arguments, the candidate relied on the judgments of Hon'ble Supreme Court raising the issue of "impermissibility in the eyes of law" on the subject matter at hand. It was further argued by candidate on the lines of "arbitrariness in the selection process". On the other hand, the opposite parties supported the selection process. The opposite party relied on the context in which the Judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court relied on by the candidate was given and they argued that "no illegality has been committed" and also pointed out to the "future of selected candidates".
Hon'ble Court referred to the Advertisement of this case and the Rules which were applicable and had explained the scope of Rules of this case. It was taken note of what was mentioned "clearly in the advertisement". It was also held that the Judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court relied on by candidate "would not have any application on the facts" of the case advanced by the candidate.
