In Brief
The Jharkhand Public Service Commission appealed against a High Court judgment that had quashed the fixing of 60% minimum qualifying marks for Paper III in a lecturers' selection process. The candidates had challenged this, arguing it unfairly changed the rules after the process began. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that fixing minimum marks for Paper III was not a rule change but an additional evaluation criterion, permissible even at later stages since no marks were originally specified for that paper in the advertisement.
