Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the qualifications for the post of Motor Vehicle Sub-Inspector under the Rajasthan Transport Subordinate Service Rules, 1963, determining that the requirement for a driving license is mandatory. The Court held that the petitioners, who were provisionally selected without the requisite license, could not continue in service after the cancellation of their selection by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission. The decision of the learned Single Judge was reversed, emphasizing adherence to the qualifications set forth in the Rules.
