In Brief
This civil appeal concerns the eligibility of three military personnel (JCOs/NCOs) for appointment as Technical Equipment Officers (TEO, AAD) in the Indian Army. The appellants challenged their ineligibility declaration, claiming an error had occurred during selection processing. The Supreme Court held that Army Instructions Nos. 84 and 85 strictly govern such appointments and require specific educational qualifications and specialized experience. Since the appellants lacked the required qualifications and had not raised objections during the selection process, they were not entitled to relief. The appeals were dismissed, upholding the ineligibility order."
