K. VASUDEVAN vs MOHAN N. MALI — C.A. No. 1706/1999

Case Summary: K. Vasudevan v. Mohan N. Mali & Ors. The Supreme Court allowed appellant K. Vasudevan's appeal against the High Court's order, setting aside the High Court judgment and restoring the Director of Education's (Goa) decision dated August 10, 1993. The Court held that the Government's 1987 circular relaxing post-graduate qualification requirements for teachers with 18 years of service was a valid policy matter and could not be deemed irrational. The High Court had impermissibly examined the validity of the circular itself when no such challenge was raised before it. The Court clarified that any extra payments already made to respondent Mohan N. Mali under the High Court's order would not be recovered.
