Advertisements For Public Employment Invalid If Number Of Posts Not Mentioned : Supreme Court

  • Case Name: Amrit Yadav V The State of Jharkhand & Ors.
  • Judge(s): Justice Pankaj Mithal and Justice Sandeep Mehta

The Supreme Court ruled that the 2010 Jharkhand recruitment process for Class-IV employees was unconstitutional due to flaws in the advertisement, such as the absence of details like the number of posts, reservation information, and changes made during the process. 

The Court declared the entire process null and void, ordering the state to issue new advertisements.

Additionally, it emphasized that advertisements for public employment must include key details like the number of posts, reservation ratios, and qualifications. The Court observed relying on the judgment in Renu v. District and Sessions Judge, Tis Hazari Courts, (2014).

Omissions of such information violate constitutional principles, making the recruitment process invalid and unconstitutional.

Court order / 1 year, 1 month ago
