In a significant development, the Gujarat High Court has issued a directive to the state government to appoint seven candidates to deputy positions, following a six-year legal battle stemming from the rectification of an answer key by the Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC). The court’s decision underscores the importance of upholding legal precedents and ensuring justice for candidates affected by such discrepancies. The appointments were initially revoked due to the rectification of the answer key, but the court’s intervention has paved the way for the reinstatement of these candidates. Importantly, the court has also taken measures to safeguard the positions of those who benefitted from the re-evaluation process, striking a balance between rectifying errors and protecting the rights of all parties involved. This ruling sets a crucial precedent for ensuring transparency and accountability in the recruitment process, highlighting the need for thorough scrutiny and adherence to established guidelines. The successful resolution of this case serves as a reminder of the judiciary’s role in upholding fairness and integrity in administrative decisions. With this directive, the court has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that justice is served, and that qualified candidates are given the opportunity to serve in their rightful positions.
