Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision regarding the eligibility of Respondent No.1 for the post of Hindi Language Assistant under The Karnataka Education Department Services (Department of Public Instructions) (Recruitment) (Amendment) Rules, 2002. The Court clarified that a candidate must possess a Bachelor's Degree with Hindi as a major subject and a B.Ed Degree, which Respondent No.1 satisfied. The Court held that the non-selection of Respondent No.1 was unjustified and directed his consideration for the post based on merit.
