RAMESH CHANDRA SHAH vs ANIL JOSHI .

The Supreme Court held that the selection process for the posts of Physiotherapist conducted by the Uttarakhand Board of Technical Education was invalid as it contravened the Uttar Pradesh Medical Health and Family Welfare Department Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist Service Rules, 1998. The Court emphasized that the Special Rules take precedence over the General Rules, and thus the selection process was quashed. The Court directed that the available posts be advertised afresh, ensuring compliance with the applicable rules.
