CASE TITLE : KHUNJAMAYUM BIMOTI DEVI VERSUS THE STATE OF MANIPUR & ORS., SLP (C) NO. 15482 OF 2016
In terms of a judgment by the Manipur High Court, a bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy, Sudhanshu Dhulia and SVN Bhatti ordered for a revised select list of candidates to be drawn in 4 weeks, based on merit, which shall include all similarly situated persons – even those candidates who participated in the recruitment process but did not litigate to secure appointment
In a matter pertaining to recruitment of primary teachers in Manipur, the Supreme Court recently observed that “When recruitment for public posts is being made by the State, the preservation of the answer scripts till reasonable time after the final declaration of result is the prudent course to adopt….we expect all concerned to be mindful of their responsibility in future recruitments, to preserve the answer scripts till the selection process is successfully completed, to obviate similar such allegation of wrong doings”
