REKHA CHATURVEDI vs UNIV.OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition, holding that the Selection Committee acted with patent illegality by considering qualifications as of the selection date rather than the last application date, as no fixed date was provided in the advertisement. However, the Court refrained from quashing the selections made in February 1985 due to the candidates' long tenure and excellent performance. The Court emphasized the need for the University to adhere to its prescribed qualifications and established guidelines for future selections to prevent illegal practices.
