A Himachal Pradesh court has ruled that interview scores and comparative merit cannot be reassessed unless there is evidence of malfeasance or bias. The decision reinforces the integrity of recruitment processes.
The court’s ruling followed a petition that questioned the validity of interview marks in a state recruitment process. It held that interview scores are integral to the merit assessment and can only be altered if malfeasance is proven. The decision underscores that administrative judgments should not be arbitrarily changed without clear evidence of bias. The ruling is likely to influence future recruitment disputes across Himachal Pradesh.
