As an Extension to Kumar's Solution, you can also add a validation in code like :

This way we show an error message in case the particular group is removed.

a!localVariables(
  local!assignees,
  {
    a!pickerFieldGroups(
      label: "Group Picker",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      saveInto: {
        local!assignees,
      },
      validations: if(
        contains(local!assignees, togroup(465)),
        "",
        "The  required group is missing. Please add group Writers Group Name"
      ),
      value: local!assignees
    )
  }
)

Well I was able to achieve it to some level, the group keeps getting added even if they remove it. Also you can add the group by default after checking the condition while defining the variable.

Thanks for the reply.

the user shouldnot be able to remove the default group which has been added when the condition is met.

for example, here the condition has met and the default group is added in the picker field. Now if I click on 'x' mark I can remove that group. but what my requirement is the user should not be able to remove this default group.

Can we achieve this ?

So if I have understood you want to add that 1 group by default in ri!assignees if it matches the condition and also one of the groups selected by user.

While user is searching and selecting the group they want, you can run a condition in saveinto part to check if it matches your condition and
then you add that group in your rule input.

a!localVariables(
  local!assignees,
  {
    a!pickerFieldGroups(
      label: "Group Picker",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      saveInto: {
        local!assignees,
        if(
          true(),
          a!save(
            local!assignees,
            union(
              append(local!assignees, togroup(465)),
              append(local!assignees, togroup(465))
            )
          ),
          null()
        )
      },
      value: local!assignees,
      validations: {},
      
    )
  }
)
