State Of Orissa vs State (Trysem) Live Stock Inspector ...

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether qualifications for direct recruitment should be assessed based on the date of vacancy or at the time of recruitment, under the Orissa Non-Gazetted Veterinary Technical Service (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Rules, 1984, as amended in 1997. The Court clarified that there is only one set of rules, which were amended in 1997, and emphasized the importance of adhering to the amended qualifications for recruitment. The Court held that the High Court's interpretation of the rules as two separate sets was incorrect, thereby upholding the validity of the amended qualifications.
