Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Division Bench's decision to quash the appellant's appointment as Projectionist due to non-fulfillment of the qualification requirement of holding a cinema operator's license as mandated by Rule 68(2) of the Rajasthan Cinemas (Regulation) Rules, 1959. The Court clarified that the necessary documents proving qualifications must accompany the application, and since the appellant failed to provide such documentation by the stipulated deadline, his appointment was invalid. Consequently, the Court directed that the third respondent's eligibility be considered for appointment if found suitable.
