Gelus Ram Sahu vs Dr. Surendra Kumar Singh

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that declared a Ph.D. as an essential qualification for the post of Principal at Polytechnic colleges, which had resulted in the quashing of the appellants' appointments. The Court reasoned that the requirement of a Ph.D. was not explicitly mandated by the relevant regulations and that the appellants possessed adequate qualifications for their roles. Consequently, the Court reinstated the appellants' appointments, emphasizing the need for clarity in qualification requirements.
