Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Bihar Public Service Commission's decision to reject Miss Kamini's candidature for the post of District Fisheries Officer was valid as she did not possess the requisite qualification of a B.Sc. in Zoology, despite being called for an interview. The Court emphasized that the Expert Committee's report, which concluded that a candidate must have a degree in the principal subject, was correctly applied. The Court overturned the High Court's decision that had favored the respondent, thereby upholding the Commission's actions as lawful under the relevant recruitment guidelines.
