Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of Rule 6(4)(a) of the Defence Research & Development Organization, Technical Cadre Recruitment Rules, 1995, stating that categorization based on educational qualifications does not violate Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court found that the appellants, who lacked the qualifications specified in Schedule III, were rightly placed in a lower category, affirming that such differentiation is permissible. The judgment confirmed the Karnataka High Court's decision, dismissing the appeals of the Chargemen grade II.
