Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of a circular issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation that established separate conditions for diploma and degree holder Sub-Assistant Engineers for supernumerary appointments as Assistant Engineers. The appellants challenged the circular and gradation list on the grounds of violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. The court found that the classification was reasonable and did not violate the constitutional provisions, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
