Supreme Court Rules Higher Qualifications Ineligible for Lower-Qualification JobsPreviousNext

The Supreme Court ruled that candidates with higher educational qualifications cannot claim jobs reserved for those with lower qualifications, emphasizing that concealing higher education to secure such posts undermines eligible applicants' rights. The case involved a temporary bank attendant who hid his graduate degree when applying for a Class 10-level job. The Court upheld the employer's decision to terminate his services, reaffirming that public employment must strictly follow prescribed eligibility criteria.
