Jurisdictional shifts to statutory recruiting commissions mandate formal selection.

When the executive transfers recruitment for specific pay bands and posts to a designated statutory recruiting agency—such as the Subordinate Services Selection Commission—recruitment must strictly comply with the agency's formal selection processes. A departmental authority cannot bypass the designated commission to grant direct or compassionate appointments outside the statutory framework once the jurisdiction has been statutorily altered. Requisitions for substantive vacancies must be routed through the designated commission, which is charged with issuing public advertisements and evaluating all eligible aspirants impartially. Consequently, candidates cannot seek judicial writs of mandamus commanding departmental authorities to grant direct appointments, as doing so would subvert the exclusive selection jurisdiction vested in the specialized recruiting body.
