K.Radhika vs T.Rajya Laxmi & Ors

The Supreme Court overturned the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision in Writ Petition No. 37437 of 2012, which had invalidated the selection of the appellant for the Personal Assistant position based on qualifications. The Court held that the High Court misinterpreted the mandatory nature of the qualification clause, emphasizing that the selection process could include candidates with lower grade qualifications if higher grade candidates were not available. The Court concluded that the selection of the appellant was valid and reinstated his appointment, thereby allowing the appeal.
