    Case Summary: The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) dismissed the writ petition challenging the constitutional validity of clause (iv) of Appendix IV of the Maharashtra Zilla Parishad District Services (Recruitment) Rules, 1967, which requires three years of teaching or administrative experience on a Government-approved post for the Extension Officer (Education) position. The petitioner, who had teaching experience at a private CBSE-affiliated school, was disqualified for lacking Government-approved post experience. The court held that prescription of qualifications is a recruitment policy matter within the employer's discretion, and the experience requirement satisfies the test of reasonable classification and intelligible differentia under Article 14 of the Constitution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
