Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision dismissing Raj Kumari's writ petition challenging her non-selection as a Lady Constable in the Punjab Police. The Court noted that despite the re-assessment of answer sheets, Raj Kumari did not achieve the required marks to qualify, and the selections of the other candidates were not to be undone after 2.5 years of training. The Court emphasized that the principle of equity does not apply in this case as the candidates had already completed their training, thus affirming the High Court's ruling.
