Summary: The Supreme Court held that the cutoff date of 1.8.1992 for educational qualification in a Central Excise/Income-tax recruitment advertisement applied only to regular graduates, not to ex-servicemen claiming deemed graduate status. Ex-servicemen must complete 15 years of armed forces service by the last application date (7.9.1992) to qualify, not by 1.8.1992. The Court allowed Douglas Michael's appeal, setting aside his selection cancellation, but dismissed the second case applicants' appeals as they had not completed 15 years by the application deadline.
