MOHD. SOHRAB KHAN vs ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appointment of Merajuddin Ahmad as a Lecturer in Chemistry was illegal due to his lack of the requisite qualifications as specified by the University. The Court emphasized that the qualifications for the post must be strictly adhered to, and since Ahmad did not possess a First Class Masters’ Degree in Chemistry, the appointment was set aside. The Court directed the University to initiate a fresh selection process, allowing for a reconsideration of the essential qualifications for the post.
