STATE OF PUNJAB . vs SARAV PREET . — C.A. No. 633/1998

Case Summary: State of Punjab v. Sarav Preet (C.A. No. 633/1998) The Supreme Court allowed Punjab's appeal against the High Court's writ petition on September 20, 2001. Respondent Sarav Preet had applied for a Lecturer in Geography position requiring a Master's degree with 55% marks and a UGC comprehensive test qualification. Though she claimed to have passed a UGC test in Human Geography and Population Studies, the State rejected her application. The High Court allowed her petition, but the Supreme Court reversed this, finding that Preet had actually failed the Punjab University-conducted examination (Roll No. 3316, 1995) and failed to disclose this fact. The Court held her related subject qualification insufficient and dismissed her petition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
