A candidate included in a recommended panel has no vested legal right to appointment, so mandamus cannot compel appointment merely on that basis. At the same time, consultation must be real, full and effective: if the State Government has objections or practical difficulties, it must place them before the High Court and seek reconsideration rather than unilaterally cancelling the panel or restarting the recruitment process. The consultative process must therefore be completed before any final decision on the vacancies. en-us Mon, 10 Nov 1986 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 04 Jul 2025 12:14:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293019 Appointment of District Judges under Article 233(1) remains an executive function exercised through the Governor after consultation with the High Court.
