As per case facts, an advertisement for Assistant Lineman and Assistant Sub-Station Attendant posts required a full-time regular ITI certificate in Electrical/Wireman Trade. Petitioners, holding engineering degrees or diplomas, were ... unable to apply as the online portal did not allow their qualifications without selecting the ITI option. They filed writ petitions challenging their exclusion, contending that possessing higher qualifications in the same field should not bar them from consideration. The question arose whether the employer's eligibility criterion, which specified a particular lower qualification without explicitly allowing higher ones, constituted an arbitrary exclusion violating Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. Finally, the High Court held that the employer is the best judge of suitability and can set eligibility criteria. It concluded that determining qualification equivalence is a technical matter for the recruiting authority, not the courts, and that the specified ITI qualification, focusing on practical skills, provides an intelligible differentia, thus not infringing upon the petitioners' rights or violating constitutional provisions.
