In Brief
The U.P. Secondary Education Services Selection Board conducted a recruitment examination for Trained Graduate Teachers in January 2009. After eight years and three re-evaluations, the Court held that although a High Court should not have directed re-evaluation without statutory authority, having already done so, the remedy was to declare the third set of results while protecting those already working as teachers from removal. Newly selected candidates would be accommodated through supernumerary posts without consequential benefits. The judgment reaffirms that courts should rarely interfere with examination results absent statutory provision, and public examinations must achieve finality.
