Allahabad High Court said that the cases relied upon by the accused are not applicable to the present case, as they are silent over the issue of maintainability of the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. after insertion of Section 14-A of SC/ST Act, 1989 and unless the said issue is decided consciously, any departure from the statutory provision would be a bad precedent.

The Supreme Court observed that availability of an alternative remedy does not operate as an absolute bar to the “maintainability” of a writ petition and that the rule, which requires a party to pursue the alternative remedy provided by a statute, is a rule of policy, convenience and discretion rather than a rule of law.

The recruitment process to any public post should be conducted in a fair and transparent manner. If the candidates are selected by any criterion other than merit and efficiency, the public authority will suffer for all the times to come. It is in the public interest that the process of selection and appointment should be transparent to make it foolproof from corrupt practices.
