On October 4, 2024, the Supreme Court conveyed a unequivocal administering in favor of the appellants challenging the cancellation of the Bihar Technical Service Commission (BTSC) enlistment prepare for Junior Engineers, taking after a four-year-long lawful fight. The Bihar government had rejected the enlistment prepare started in 2019 due to affirmed errors within the qualification criteria, driving to broad discontent among the candidates.
The case stemmed from an promotion issued by the BTSC in March 2019, welcoming applications for 6,379 Junior Engineer posts over different state divisions. In any case, the enlistment prepare got to be soiled in discussion when candidates who had confirmations from colleges not recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) were regarded ineligible. The candidates contended that, beneath a past Supreme Court administering, colleges don't require AICTE endorsement to offer specialized programs.
The Supreme Court, presided over by Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, ruled that it was unlawful and arbitrary for the Bihar government to decide to end the selection process after it had been completed. The Court decided that the government's attempt to change the regulations in the middle of the hiring process did not warrant the annulment of the procedure.
The Court coordinated the BTSC to plan a changed select list inside three months, guaranteeing that candidates already considered ineligible exclusively on the grounds of the 2017 revisions to the enlistment rules be included. This judgment gives much-needed help to the influenced candidates, numerous of whom had been holding up for over four a long time for their arrangements.
