THAHIRA P vs THE ADMINISTRATOR, UT OF LAKSHDWEEP

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Kerala High Court regarding the appointment of Thahira as Social Education Organizer, affirming that her degree in Malayalam and Sociology (Double Main) was equivalent to the required qualification of a degree in Sociology (Single Main). The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the stipulated timeline for objections as per the notice accompanying the check-list, which Kadeeja failed to meet. Consequently, the Court dismissed Kadeeja's challenge to Thahira's appointment, reinforcing the principle that timely objections are essential in administrative processes.
