Sunil Dutt Sharma vs Chief Regional Manager, H.P.C. Ltd. And ...

The Supreme Court upheld the selection of Rajinder Sidhu for a Liquified Petroleum Gas Agency in Jagraon, rejecting the challenge by Capt/Sunil Dutt Sharma regarding the validity of Sidhu's eligibility certificate from the Director-General of Resettlement (DGR). The Court found that the certificate, although issued for a different location, was not stale and met the requirements for the Defense category with limited means of livelihood as per the guidelines. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the eligibility certificate's issuance date was not a disqualifying factor, thus maintaining Sidhu's appointment.
