- It is a well established system that members of the civil services are appointed solely on the basis of merits determined in the open competition so that they could carry on administration independently because selection on merit is instrumental in creating necessary confidence and independence to perform the functions as a civil servants particularly under Rules of Business. It is thus obvious that clause (I) of the Notification No. 1 violates both these legal requirements. It interferes in the working of the Commission and also makes way for selection of those who are not the best among the contestants. AJK Govt. v. Javed Iqbal Khaw. & another 1996 SCR 40 (H)
