Narendra Kumar Tiwari vs The State Of Jharkhand on 1 August, 2018
18. The Hon'ble Apex Court in the judgment rendered in
the case of State of Jammu and Kashmir (supra) has clearly
held at paragraph-19 that even if the appointment process did
not involve open competitive selection, the appointment would
be treated as irregular and not illegal. The impugned order has
been passed treating the appointment of the petitioners to be
illegal as no advertisement was issued.
