NARENDER KUMAR CHANDLA vs HARYANA

The Supreme Court held that while Article 21 protects the right to livelihood, the appellant, who was a Matriculate, could not be appointed as U.D.C. due to lack of necessary qualifications. The Court directed the respondent Board to relax the typing test requirement and appoint the appellant as L.D.C., ensuring his last drawn pay scale of Rs. 1400-2300 is protected and all arrears of salary are paid. The Court emphasized the need for employers to adjust employees affected by health issues to suitable posts.
