In Brief
In this appeal concerning public sector appointments, the Supreme Court dismissed challenges by candidates whose appointments had been offered but later cancelled following verification of records that showed they did not meet merit-based eligibility criteria. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding that the original appointments were made based on a factual error which was properly corrected through verification of records. No legal error was found in the cancellation decision, and the candidates' ineligibility was confirmed.
