U.P. Public Service Commission & Ors vs Rajeev Kumar Bansal

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the U.P. Public Service Commission's (UPPSC) rejection of Rajeev Kumar Bansal's application for the post of Regional Inspector (Tech.) based on practical experience requirements as per Clause 5(5) of the advertisement and the U.P. Transport (Subordinate) Technical Service Rules, 1980. The Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's ruling that the definition of 'large automobile workshop' should not be limited to those approved by the State Government, thereby affirming that experience in private workshops could also be considered valid. The Court directed UPPSC to reassess the respondent's application in light of this broader interpretation of practical experience.
