Indian Airlines Ltd. & Ors vs S. Gopalakrishnan

The Supreme Court held that the requirement for experience in the appointment of Junior Operator, as per the employment notice, necessitates that the experience must be acquired after obtaining the requisite qualification. The Court referenced prior judgments, including N. Suresh Nathan & Anr. vs. Union of India and Anil Kumar Gupta & Ors. vs. Municipal Corporation of Delhi, to establish that experience must follow the qualification. The Court upheld the decision of the lower courts, affirming that the respondent did not meet the necessary qualifications for the position.
