Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision quashing the appointment of Ganpath Singh Gangaram Singh Rajput as Lecturer in MCA, stating that he did not meet the eligibility criteria as per the notification issued by Gulbarga University. The Court emphasized that a post-graduate degree in Mathematics does not qualify as a relevant subject for the position, which specifically required a degree in MCA. The judgment reinforced the importance of adhering to prescribed qualifications in academic appointments under Section 53 of the Karnataka Universities Act.
