Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the appointment of Ganpath Singh Gangaram Singh Rajput as Lecturer in MCA, affirming that a Master's degree in Mathematics qualifies as a 'relevant subject' under the Karnataka Universities Act, Section 53. The Court found that the Board of appointment, consisting of academic experts, had the authority to determine eligibility, and their decision was not subject to judicial interference. The Court reversed the Karnataka High Court's decision that quashed Ganpat's appointment, thereby reinstating his position.
