For crores of youth preparing for government jobs in the country, a very important and surprising news has come out from the country’s biggest court. The Supreme Court has said in clear words that a government job should be given only to that candidate who fulfills the necessary qualifications prescribed for him. The court believes that giving jobs to less qualified people on less qualified posts is actually an injustice to the poor or less educated candidates who are actually entitled to that post. By doing this the rights of eligible candidates are violated.
Only those with prescribed qualifications should get jobs: SC
Supreme Court Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Justice R. Mahadevan’s two-member bench has given this very tough decision. The court completely canceled the old order of the Madras High Court, in which a temporary bank assistant was asked to be reinstated on the job. The Supreme Court said that the Madras High Court completely ignored the very important fact that the employee had committed fraud to get a job in the bank. He hid his graduation degree and deliberately applied for a post which was reserved only for 10th pass candidates.
Making a serious comment on this matter, the bench said that any job in the government sector should be given to all the eligible candidates only according to the qualification prescribed for them. When the government or any department designates a post for people with less educational qualification, then it is wrong to allow a person with a higher degree to enter it. This is like depriving those people of their golden opportunity who are dependent only on that position.
Why did the Supreme Court reverse the order of Madras High Court?
Understanding this entire matter deeply, the Supreme Court has completely justified and justified the bank’s decision to dismiss that employee from the job. The court also very sensitively explained the social and economic reasons behind this. The bench said that the government’s reasoning behind setting an upper limit of educational qualification (maximum qualification limit) in jobs is absolutely correct and justified. Its real objective is to provide employment opportunities to those people of the society who could not pursue further studies due to difficult life circumstances, poverty or lack of resources.
The court further said that it is absolutely right for an ideal employer (i.e. a responsible government) to reserve certain categories of posts for such less educated people. This has the advantage that these simple and less educated candidates do not have to compete with highly qualified candidates who have higher degrees. If there is a competition between the two, the chances of selection of less educated people will be negligible. This is the reason why such welfare policies have always been considered right and necessary by the courts of the country.
