In Brief
The Supreme Court examined special leave petitions challenging irregularities in the selection process for assistant teachers in Meghalaya's government lower primary schools. Finding serious procedural flaws, the Court disposed of the petitions while issuing directions for ensuring transparent recruitment: videography of selection proceedings, CCTV installation at examination and interview centres, and independent committee review of footage for public disclosure. The Court directed the Registry to inform the Department of Personnel and Training for nationwide compliance, emphasizing that purity of public service selection is essential for constitutional integrity.
