In Brief
The Supreme Court considered whether a substitution of Rule 266(3) of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996 altered the selection of the respondent who had scored above the prescribed cut-off. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, holding that while the proviso had ceased to exist after the rule substitution, selecting only based on the new rule would injure candidates who relied on the original advertisement's terms. The Court allowed the appeal to uphold the respondent's selection based on merit and to prevent injustice.", <parameter name="cited_cases">[]
