DR. M.C. BINDAL vs R . C . SINGH & ORS .

The Supreme Court held that a candidate must fulfill both educational qualifications and requisite experience to be considered for appointment, as mandated by Article 320(3)(a) and (b) of the Constitution. The Court found that Dr. Bindal lacked the necessary 5 years of experience in drug testing, having only 3 years and 4 months, which justified the Public Service Commission's decision to withdraw his provisional recommendation. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal of Dr. Majumdar and dismissed Dr. Bindal's writ petition and the State's appeal, affirming the Commission's authority to verify qualifications.
