Case Summary: Jahar Singh v. Union of India (1996) The Supreme Court allowed Jahar Singh's appeal and quashed the cancellation of his candidature for the Accountant examination, holding that the Union of India made contradictory and unsubstantiated claims to deny him the post. Although Singh was initially an LDC in SBCO, he had been promoted to Personal Assistant (PA) before appearing in the examination; the respondents' assertion that this permission was "inadvertently" granted was factually incorrect, as their own letter acknowledged his PA designation. The court found the respondents' subsequent claim that PA-SBCO cadre were ineligible was also baseless, given that other SBCO PAs were permitted to appear in the 1993 examination without objection. The court directed the respondents to grant Singh all consequential benefits of his successful examination performance, with costs of Rs. 5,000.
