Rules Of Game Cannot Be Changed After Game Is Over

In PARAMJIT SINGH Vs IOCL, the Delhi High Court The Court was hearing a Petition filed by one Paramjit Singh against the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL), which had conducted a recruitment drive for the post of Junior Operator Grade-I in February, 2011. The Petitioner did not get appointed
despite the fact that he had obtained the second highest marks in the written examination. He was then informed that this was due to the fact that he had failed to make the cut-off in the interviews, since the interview was of a qualifying nature.

The rules of the game cannot be changed after the game is over. The competent authority, if the statutory rules do not restrain, is fully competent to prescribe minimum qualifying marks for written examination as well as for interview, but such prescription must be done at the time of initiation of selection process. The change of criterion of selection in the midst of selection process is not permissible,” Justice V. Kameswar Rao observed.
