Case Summary: Raj Kumar & Ors. v. Shakti Raj & Ors. (C.A. 923/1997) The Supreme Court allowed appeals challenging the High Court's quashing of Canal Patwari appointments in Haryana's Irrigation Department. While the 1970 notification required recruitment through the Subordinate Service Selection Board (SSSB), the Government conducted 1992 examinations under outdated 1955 Rules, then constituted a selection committee post-hoc using arbitrary mark-awarding procedures, violating statutory recruitment requirements and denying equal opportunity to all eligible candidates. Decision: The Court allowed the appellants to continue in service but ordered the SSSB to re-conduct proper interviews and selection of all successful 1992 examination candidates following prescribed rules and reservation policies, ensuring fair and transparent recruitment procedures.
