In Brief
Sridip Chatterjee sought appointment as Assistant Professor in Physical Education. The job required a Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga or Yoga Therapy. Chatterjee held a Master's degree in Physical Education and a Diploma in Yoga Education. Though the expert selection committee approved his candidacy as meeting the eligibility requirements, a lower court dismissed his appointment. The Supreme Court held that once expert committees determine an applicant meets the advertised qualifications, courts cannot interfere with the appointment. The appeal was allowed and Chatterjee's appointment was upheld.
