The Court held that the 31 December 1993 cut-off date had a rational basis, was not arbitrary, and did not violate Article 14. It also ruled that the exemption had to be assessed by reference to the date of the regulatory change, not the date of the recruitment advertisement, so the High Court could not extend the benefit up to 31 December 1994. The specific relief for respondents who independently met the amended cut-off was left undisturbed. en-us Tue, 17 Sep 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 12:49:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168438 The SC upheld the 1991 UGC Regulations, which introduced an eligibility test for lecturer appointments, and treated the related exemption for certain M.Phil. and Ph.D. candidates as a transitional measure protecting legitimate expectation under the earlier regime.
