RANAJIT KUMAR MEHER vs STATE OF ORISSA & ORS.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that the qualifications for appointment must adhere to the Orissa Non-Gazetted Veterinary Technical Services (Recruitment & Conditions of Service) Rules, 1983, as amended in 1997, rather than the qualifications stated in the advertisement dated 16.01.2004. The Court held that the appellant did not possess the requisite qualifications as per the Rules, thus no appointment could be made in violation of them.
