In a significant development, the Gujarat High Court has mandated the state government to designate seven candidates to deputy positions, following a six-year delay post their initial selection. The appointments were rescinded by the Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) after an answer key correction, triggering a prolonged legal dispute. The court underscored the importance of upholding legal norms and cited precedent in its ruling, directing the state government to finalize the appointments promptly. Furthermore, the court’s decision safeguards the interests of individuals who gained from the re-evaluation process. This ruling sets a precedent for rectifying administrative errors and ensuring justice for deserving candidates.
