Equivalence of Qualification For Eligibility Of Employment To Be Decided By Employer, Not Courts

The Allahabad High Court decided that the question of equivalence of qualification for eligibility and employment is to be decided by the employer and the same cannot be interpreted by the Courts to treat any qualification to be equivalent for job eligibility.

This decision came from a situation where the U.P. Subordinate Services Selection Commission found a candidate's diploma in Textile Technology unsuitable for a sewing instructor position.

The Court supported this rejection, explaining that the required qualifications cannot be changed or seen as equivalent.

Referring to previous Supreme Court decisions, highlighted that recruitment standards are administrative choices, and the courts can't broaden eligibility beyond what is clearly stated.

The special appeal was dismissed.
