MOHD.RIAZUL USMAN GANI vs DISTT.&SESSIONS JUDGE,NAGPUR

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the recruitment process for peons in the Subordinate Judiciary of Maharashtra, specifically challenging the fourth criterion set by the Advisory Committee which limited eligibility based on educational qualifications. The Court held that this criterion was arbitrary and violated the principles of fair recruitment as outlined in Article 14 of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court quashed the selection process and directed the authorities to reconsider the applications without the arbitrary restriction.
