The Bombay High Court was hearing a writ petition filed by one Shobhit Gaur, who was shortlisted by the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) for the position of a civil judge, but was later labelled to be “not suitable” by the authorities, who found that he had no knowledge of Marathi language.
The Court, said that petitioner had failed to satisfy the eligibility conditions and that in such a scenario, the decision taken by the authorities cannot be termed as unreasonable or arbitrary.
