    The Gujarat High Court dismissed the petitioners' challenge to their ineligibility for the Junior Town Planner recruitment, holding that their M.Tech in Infrastructure Engineering & Technology is not equivalent to the required M.Tech in Infrastructural Planning. The court accepted an expert committee's unanimous finding that the engineering degree lacks sufficient planning-specific content and planning studios required for town planning roles, thus upholding GPSC's rejection of their applications.
