SURYA PRAKASH SAXENA vs STATE OF U.P. — SLP(C) No. 10597 - 10598/1995

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, finding that the High Court failed to examine whether the appellants' appointment as Registration Clerks complied with Rule 22 of the 1985 Recruitment Rules, which required newspaper advertisement before accepting applications. The case was remitted to the High Court for merit-based consideration of whether the procedural defect in the selection process rendered it void ab initio.
