Shifana P.S vs State Of Kerala

The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, affirming that the appellant did not meet the qualifying criteria for the post of High School Assistant (Physical Science) as per the notification dated 30th April 2008. The Court emphasized that the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) is not authorized to determine the equivalence of educational qualifications unless explicitly provided by the special rules, referencing the case of A. Suma v. The Kerala Public Service Commission. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the lower courts' rulings regarding the appellant's ineligibility.
