Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the appointment of the appellant as Assistant Manager in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation was invalid due to non-compliance with the eligibility criteria specified in Circular No. 80, which required a graduate degree and ten years of administrative experience. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to quash the appointment, establishing that adherence to prescribed qualifications is essential for public employment. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling.
