VIDYA K. vs THE STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court held that the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal's decision to quash the notification for filling 18 lecturer posts in Home Science was erroneous, as the recruitment rules do not mandate specifying subject breakups. The Court emphasized that the Tribunal's reliance on policy considerations was misplaced and affirmed the recruitment process, allowing the appointments made based on the advertisement. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, and the judgments of the Tribunal and High Court were set aside.
