‘Arbitrary’ Selection Process: HC Quashes Appointment of 935 Constables in Nagaland; Orders Fresh Recruitment

The Gauhati High Court, led by Justice Devashis Baruah, annulled the appointments of 935 Nagaland police constables due to irregularities. The Court mandated a new, legally compliant recruitment process within six months, addressing concerns over “backdoor appointments.” Previous appointees may remain for six months until replacements are made.
