The court upheld the principle that candidates' eligibility should be evaluated based on merit aligned with previous judicial orders, emphasizing fairness and adherence to established criteria.
The court found that eligibility for teaching positions must align with current qualifications established by the applicable recruitment rules, which overrode previous allowances.
Point of law : Merely being selected without obtaining letter of appointment would mean that selected candidates were still not born into service and therefore period would not be counted as service ....
Candidates participating in a selection process cannot challenge the process or regulations post-selection, establishing a principle of acquiescence in recruitment law.
