Rameshwar Dass Mehla vs Om Prakash Saini And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in disqualifying the appellant based on a strict interpretation of the 55% marks requirement for the librarian position, as the appellant had a consistent academic record and relevant experience. The Court emphasized that matters of academic qualifications should be left to the discretion of university authorities, citing precedents such as University of Mysore v. C.D. Govinda Rao. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating his appointment as librarian.
