Chandrakala Trivedi vs State Of Rajasthan & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's claim for appointment as a Teacher based on the requirement of passing the Senior Secondary Examination. The Court interpreted the term 'equivalent' in the context of educational qualifications, asserting that higher qualifications can be considered equivalent to the basic requirement. The Court ordered that the appellant's provisional appointment should not be cancelled, emphasizing the reasonable expectation of continued selection after provisional approval, thus allowing the appellant to be considered for the post.
