R. Ranjith Singh vs State Of Tamil Nadu 2025 INSC 612 - Executive Instructions - Retrospective Amendment Of Recruitment Rules
Executive Instructions - Government cannot issue executive instructions in contravention of the statutory rules- Executive instructions can supplement a Statute or cover areas which the Statute does not extend. They cannot run contrary to the statutory provisions or whittle down their effect. (Para 20-22)
Recruitment Rules - State Government amending the recruitment rules with retrospective effect is certainly violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India. A statute which takes away the right of an individual with retrospective effect deserves to be set aside. (Para 23)
Supreme Court reiterates that Government cannot issue executive instructions in contravention of the statutory rules. https://t.co/VkL0caEk0R pic.twitter.com/9ZQjrakCFY
