Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant, having fulfilled the qualifications and duties of a chick sexer, was entitled to be considered for promotion and pay parity with other chick sexers under the relevant government instructions. The Court emphasized the need for the Department to assess the appellant's actual work experience and qualifications in light of the qualifications set forth in the 1980 government instructions. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision to set aside the appointment was overturned, directing the authorities to consider the appellant's claims appropriately.
