The Supreme Court ruled that procedural irregularities in forming a selection committee do not automatically invalidate appointments if the selected candidates are not at fault and have served long. The court set aside the termination of Odisha Livestock Inspectors who served 18 years, stating dismissal solely due to selection committee defects is legally unsustainable. The judgment distinguishes between void and voidable procedural violations.
