Case: Darshan Bipinbhai Trivedi Versus State Of Gujarat

Coram: Honourable Mr. Justice Biren Vaishnav

Case No.: R/Special Civil Application No. 14636 Of 2019

Court Observation: “Nowhere does Recruitment Rule stipulate that it has to be in only a government or local body or a government undertaking board or the Corporation or a Company. This would amount to restrictive reading of the Rule and, therefore, it cannot be said that the respondent No.3 does not possess the requisite experience,”

“Reading the Rule makes it clear that an incumbent apart from holding a post-graduate diploma in Journalism, which the respondent No.3 possessed should have about 3 years’ combined experience in the Editorial work. Nowhere does Recruitment Rule stipulate that it has to be in only a government or local body or a government undertaking board or the Corporation or a Company. “
