In a significant development, the Gujarat High Court has issued a directive to the state government to appoint seven candidates to deputy positions, six years after their initial selection was revoked. This decision comes after a prolonged legal battle that ensued when the Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) corrected an answer key. The court’s ruling highlighted the importance of adhering to legal precedents and ensuring fairness in the recruitment process. The directive mandates the state government to appoint the seven candidates while safeguarding the positions of individuals who benefitted from the re-evaluation of the answer key. This move is expected to bring closure to the long-standing dispute and uphold the principles of justice and equity in the recruitment of deputy positions in Gujarat.
