M.D TNSTC vs R.S.KAVITHA .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's direction to consider R.S. Kavitha's candidature for the post of Conductor, despite her not meeting the height qualification under Rule 59(b) of the Service Rules, violated Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that any relaxation of qualifications must be explicitly provided in the recruitment rules and publicly notified. The appeal was partly allowed, setting aside the High Court's judgment regarding R.S. Kavitha, while allowing consideration of M. Revathi's candidature upon submission of the necessary certificate.
