In Brief
The Supreme Court addressed multiple special leave petitions challenging irregularities in the selection process for assistant teachers in Meghalaya's government schools. Finding serious procedural violations, the Court held that to safeguard the integrity of public sector recruitment, selection bodies should videograph proceedings and install CCTV cameras at examination and interview centres. Independent committees should review such footage and publish their reports online. The Court directed the Department of Personnel and Training to communicate these directions to relevant authorities for implementation, and disposed of the petitions accordingly.">
