Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Central Administrative Tribunal's order regarding the termination of the appellant's services as a Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) for not possessing the requisite B.Ed qualification by the application deadline. The Court emphasized that the appellant's eligibility was established post-application, and the termination was based on a misinterpretation of the eligibility criteria. The Court ruled that the termination was unjustified, thereby restoring the appellant's position and entitlements.
