Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to amendments in the Delhi Police (Appointment & Recruitment) Rules, 1980, which restricted the eligibility of serving personnel for direct recruitment to the post of Sub-Inspector. The appellants contended that these amendments violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution by being arbitrary. The court ultimately upheld the amendments, finding them to be valid and not in violation of constitutional provisions.
