casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Civil Appeal No. 1139 of 2001 The Supreme Court dismissed the appellants' appeal challenging the High Court's quashing of their appointment as Additional Ahlmads in Haryana Subordinate Courts. The state had advertised only 10 posts for 1996-97 but selected 20 candidates (including the appellants) by also filling 10 posts for the second phase (1997-98) from the same merit list without separate advertisement. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding that selecting candidates for posts of a different year and phase without advertisement violated recruitment principles, and that cost-saving considerations could not justify such irregular selection. The Court dismissed the appeals with a direction that if the state conducts fresh selection for the 1997-98 phase, it should consider relaxation of age limits for previously selected candidates.
