Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the qualification for the post of Deputy Medical Superintendent, which required 15 years of experience, was validly applied, and the respondent, having only 14 years of experience, was rightly excluded from consideration for the interview. The Court found that the Tribunal's decision to grant exemplary costs and compensation was unwarranted as it exceeded its jurisdiction. Consequently, the Court set aside the Tribunal's order, affirming that the rejection was in accordance with the rules and not wrongful.
