In Brief
This case involved the protracted recruitment of Sub-Inspectors by Bihar, begun in 2004 but delayed by numerous litigations. The Court resolved disputes over accommodation of 186 candidates and appointment of 97 others selected under Court orders. Finding 200+ vacancies still available after 13 years, the Court directed appointment of all qualified candidates and ordered the State to conduct selection for 1035 recommended candidates who had not previously appeared, including 133 specified candidates. All selection must be completed within three months. The Court dismissed contempt petitions and prohibited further petitions without express permission, clarifying the decision applied only to these peculiar circumstances."
