Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the cancellation of the appellants' appointments as Urdu teachers was unjustified as they had initially been selected based on valid qualifications, including the Moallim-e-Urdu certificate. The Court emphasized that the subsequent requirement for a Basic Training Certificate (B.T.C.) was not applicable to their case, given prior government approvals recognizing their qualifications. The Court held that the appellants were entitled to continue their employment, thereby quashing the cancellation order issued by the authorities.
