Vijay Bala Bhanot & Anr vs Govt. Of N.C.T. Delhi & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal which set aside the promotion of the appellants as Technical Assistants due to their failure to meet the prescribed educational qualifications under the recruitment rules. The Court clarified that the power to relax qualifications applies to classes or categories of persons, not individuals, and noted the availability of qualified candidates. The appeals were dismissed, but the Court allowed the appellants to submit representations for protection regarding their service in the higher post without conferring any rights.
