Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court directed the authorities to consider the appellant's case for regularization as a Forest Guard, as he was denied the opportunity solely due to marrying before the age of 21, despite others receiving relaxation in similar circumstances. The Court emphasized the need for equal treatment and set aside the High Court's judgment, mandating a decision within three months. This ruling reinforces the principle of non-discrimination in employment matters under service law.
