A later-acquired degree could not cure the original defect, and the appointment could not be regularised under Sections 33-A or 33-B because basic eligibility was absent when the appointment was made. The Removal of Difficulties Orders also gave no protection where the termination occurred before the relevant cut-off date, and long service could not override the mandatory qualification requirement.
