S. Devasahayam & Anr vs Joint Director & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Appellate Authority and the High Court regarding the appointment of the appellant as Head Master under the Tamil Nadu Recognized Private Schools (Regulation) Act, 1973. It was established that the appellant did not belong to the feeder category of Post Graduate Assistants as required by Rule 15(4)(i)(d), and merely possessing a Master's degree through a condensed course did not qualify him for the position. The Court dismissed the appeal under Article 136, affirming that the appellant was not entitled to the promotion due to lack of eligibility.
