Amend Government Orders Reasonably to Prevent Hardship: Supreme Court
Case Title: R.J. GAJENDRA KUMAR VERSUS GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL NADU AND ANR.
Case No.: SLP (CIVIL) NOS. 23378-79 OF 2025
Coram: Justice Manoj Misra and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan
Court Observation
“A candidate who has obtained the requisite qualification based on the prevailing norms i.e. GO Ms No. 528 dated 18.05.1985 which continued to remain in force for more than 24 years and finally came to be reversed after 32 years cannot be made ineligible by resorting to the maze of Government orders. It needs no reiteration that interpretation of such Government orders which have the effect of modifying and amending previous Government orders has to be done in a reasonable manner to avoid unnecessary hardship to those who have no control over the subject matter.”
