Mohd.Ayub vs State Of U.P.Tr.Princl.Sec.& Ors

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's application for the post of Armourer due to the late submission of a medical certificate was unjust, as it failed to consider Section 10 of the General Clauses Act, which allows for the extension of time when the last day falls on a holiday. The Court emphasized the importance of equity in administrative decisions and ruled that the appellant's application should have been considered despite the delay in submitting the medical certificate. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and directed that the appellant's application be considered for the post.
