Bihar Staff Selection Commission & Ors vs Arun Kumar & Ors

Bench: 2 — <UNKNOWN>, <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

The Bihar Staff Selection Commission challenged lower court orders directing it to accommodate candidates in a merit list without disturbing already-made appointments following a disputed recruitment examination. The Supreme Court found these directions violated settled service law principles. The Court held that unilateral judicial re-evaluation creates complications rather than solutions. Instead of modifying results, the Court set aside the impugned judgments and directed the BSSC to conduct a fresh evaluation and publish results based on expert recommendations and reports, allowing the recruitment authority to address the issues properly.
