DUDDILLA SRINIVASA SHARMA vs V.CHRYSOLITE

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to quash the recruitment of the appellants as Junior Assistants was justified as it violated the prescribed qualifications under the A.P. Judicial Ministerial Service Rules 2003. The Court emphasized that the authorities acted arbitrarily by raising the benchmark for shortlisting candidates from intermediate to degree qualifications, which was not in accordance with the original notification. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming the need for adherence to the qualifications specified in the recruitment notification, thereby dismissing the appeal.
