Maheshwari Prasad & Ors vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals against the Jharkhand High Court's dismissal of L.P.A. No.229 of 2006 concerning the eligibility criteria for the post of Police Drivers. The Court held that the requirement of possessing a heavy vehicle driving licence, effective two years prior to the advertisement date, was valid and necessary for selection, as per the Selection Committee's decision. Consequently, the exclusion of candidates lacking such licences from the merit list was upheld, affirming the High Court's ruling.
