In Brief
The appellants challenged a High Court judgment that rejected their appointment as drivers in Gujarat's Subordinate Courts because their preferred district options were unavailable. The Court found that they had been validly selected (five in General, one in SEBC category) but were rejected despite the option system permitting consideration of multiple district choices. With 24 new vacancies available, the Supreme Court ordered their adjustment in their respective categories, directing the High Court to issue a corrigendum reducing the number of advertised vacancies accordingly.
