In Brief
A Forest Guard applicant was denied regularization because he married before turning 21 years old. However, four other candidates in the same situation had been granted relaxation and regularization. The Supreme Court held that administrative authorities must treat similarly placed persons equally. The Court set aside the High Court's decision and directed the authority to consider the appellant for the same relief granted to the four others, with implementation within three months.
