Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Uttarakhand High Court's order which held that the requirement for registration with the Uttaranchal Veterinary Council violated Article 16 of the Constitution of India. The Court found that the High Court's brief order lacked sufficient deliberation on the constitutional and statutory implications of the condition for appointment as Veterinary Doctor. The matter was remitted to the High Court for a detailed hearing, allowing the State Public Service Commission to maintain the previous terms until a contrary decision is made by the High Court.
