Orders
Summary: The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of the appeal against the High Court's judgment regarding Drug Inspector qualifications in Uttar Pradesh. Citing its earlier landmark decision in *State of Haryana v. Krishan Kumar & Ors.*, the Court held that the central Drugs Rules prescribe qualifications for Inspectors, and state governments cannot add additional experience requirements beyond those prescribed by central law. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment and directed the State Government to follow Rule 49 of the Drugs Rules, 1945, for appointments.
