BIHAR PUBLIC SERVICE COMMN. vs STATE OF BIHAR — C.A. No. 14753/1996

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by Bihar Public Service Commission, setting aside the High Court's mandamus directing appointment of the respondent as Assistant Jailor. The Court found that the Bihar State Subordinate Service Selection Board committed gross irregularities and illegalities in conducting the examination and selection process, as documented in the Biswas Committee report, and the Board had no jurisdiction to issue a revised recommendation list after being dissolved on October 22, 1991. Consequently, the respondent had no enforceable right to appointment based on a list prepared without jurisdiction, though previously made appointments were not annulled.
