Key Principle Established
HPSC recruitment must be fair, transparent and in accordance with prescribed rules. If the selection process is vitiated by irregularities, the entire recruitment can be quashed.
Candidates challenged the HPSC recruitment process alleging irregularities in the selection procedure, including improper evaluation and departure from prescribed norms.
The P&H High Court held that the HPSC is bound to follow its own rules and prescribed procedure. Any departure from the rules that affects the merit of candidates renders the selection process vitiated. The Court can quash the entire recruitment if the irregularities are of such nature that the outcome could have been different.
This judgment reinforced judicial oversight of HPSC recruitments in Haryana and is cited in challenges to various HPSC selections.
