Candidates selected on the basis of Rules shall be governed by Service Rules and G.Os. as applicable before in the Govt.” and Under the 2001 Rules, there was no provision for adding 10 marks to the total marks of written test and interview in the category of trained apprentices.

In such circumstances, it would be wholly impermissible to alter the selection criteria which was advertised on 27th November, 2001. and as such the Apex court set aside the order of High court = Public Service Commission, Uttaranchal …Appellant VERSUS Jagdish Chandra Singh Bora & Anr.
