Recruitment Selection | 'None Found Suitable' Declaration Without Objective Benchmark Violates Article 14: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court has ruled that declaring 'None Found Suitable' in public recruitment without a clear, pre-defined benchmark is arbitrary and violates Article 14. While it denied relief to the appellant due to a subsequent lawful selection, the judgment establishes that public employers must justify NFS outcomes with transparent criteria-protecting candidates from opaque, discretionary rejections in reserved category posts.
