Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Calcutta High Court, which dismissed the appeal against the cancellation of the candidature of Respondent No.1 for the post of Assistant Teacher. The Court interpreted the eligibility criteria set forth in the West Bengal School Service Commission (Selection of Persons for Appointment to the Post of Teachers) Rules, 2007, particularly Rule 5, which mandates specific language qualifications for candidates. The Court confirmed that the qualifications outlined in the advertisement were essential for selection, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling.
