Final Select List Signals Completion Of Appointment Process; It Can't Be Scrapped For Fresh Process As Per New Rules : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that a final select list for appointments cannot be scrapped based on newly introduced rules. The court emphasized that once a selection process is completed under existing rules, candidates are entitled to their positions unless there is clear evidence of irregularities. The case involved changes in regulations during the appointment process, but the court held that the candidates selected under the old rules had a vested right to be appointed. The ruling is significant for clarifying the validity of appointments despite changes in the governing rules after the selection process is complete.
