Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court granted Special Leave to Appeal under Article 136 against the High Court of Andhra Pradesh's judgment quashing the recruitment of the appellants as Junior Assistants, which was based on an improper elevation of qualification requirements from intermediate to degree level. The Court held that the recruitment process was arbitrary and violated Article 21 of the Constitution, thereby upholding the High Court's decision to quash the appointments. The appellants' challenge to the High Court's ruling was dismissed, affirming the need for adherence to prescribed qualifications in recruitment processes.
