Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of the appellant's promotion to the post of B.T. Assistant (English), which was challenged on the grounds of eligibility due to the simultaneous pursuit of two degrees. The court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the promotion, emphasizing that the appellant did not meet the requisite qualifications as per the applicable rules. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
