Mohd. Altaf And Ors. vs Public Service Commission And Anr.

The Supreme Court clarified that the order regarding eligibility for teaching positions applies to all candidates who appeared for the interview, as it is based on the interpretation of statutory rules. The Court held that the experience required for principals in government intermediate colleges must include teaching experience in higher classes, specifically from IX to XII, as per the state government's regulations. The Court rejected the argument that experience in lower classes disqualifies candidates, affirming the broader interpretation of 'higher classes' as defined by the state government.
