Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision directing the appellant-Corporation to consider the 1st respondent's claim for appointment despite her failure to submit a work experience certificate, as required by the advertisement. The Court emphasized that the High Court's order was based on the peculiar facts of the case and should not be treated as a precedent. The judgment clarified that the rejection of the application was valid due to non-compliance with the eligibility criteria, but the High Court's directive was to ensure fairness in consideration of her application.
