casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Union of India v. Sunu Varghese The Supreme Court allowed Union of India's appeals against the Kerala High Court's decision that had quashed recruitment of degree holders for Junior Engineer positions. The High Court erred by reviewing only draft rules instead of the duly published rules then in force, which permitted candidates with three-year diplomas or equivalent qualifications for both Civil and Electrical Engineering posts. The Court set aside the High Court's order, dismissed the respondents' writ petitions, and awarded costs of Rs. 2,500 to each respondent.
