Dr.Rajeev P.B v. Kerala Public Service Commission
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court dismissed a petition challenging the selection of Junior Doctor Dr. Rahil Sreenivasan Thokaloath over the petitioner in a Senior Lecturer recruitment. The Court held that since both candidates had MBBS qualifications at the cut-off date, the inter-se merit selection by the PSC was justified and the petitioner's later MD degree was irrelevant.
What did the court decide?
The original petition was dismissed as there was no merit in the challenge to the non-interference by the Tribunal regarding the cut-off date qualifications.
