In a recent development, the Gujarat High Court has issued a directive to the state government in India to appoint seven candidates to deputy positions. This decision comes six years after their initial selection was revoked by the Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) due to a rectification in the answer key, which sparked a prolonged legal dispute. The court’s ruling underscored the importance of upholding legal precedents and ensuring justice for the affected candidates. Notably, the court mandated the appointments while safeguarding the positions of those individuals who had already benefitted from the re-evaluation process. This judgment serves as a significant milestone in the ongoing legal battle and sets a precedent for future cases involving similar circumstances. The state government is now expected to comply with the court’s order and finalize the appointments of the seven candidates to the deputy positions, bringing a long-awaited resolution to the contentious issue.
