    Summary: The Chhattisgarh High Court allowed the petition and quashed the order rejecting petitioner Deepti Shendey's candidature for the Lecturer (English) position. The court found the rejection arbitrary and illegal, as it was based solely on her pursuing M.A. English (via distance learning) and B.Ed. (regular) simultaneously in 2017, with no explicit disqualification criteria in the advertisement. The court directed respondent authorities to reconsider her appointment within 60 days, noting she ranked 12th in SC category and 5th in SC-female category.
