This case concerns recruitment for the post of Computer Hardware Engineer by the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education. The core dispute revolves around the prescribed qualifications, specifically the requirement of five years of work experience and the preference for a Master's degree. The appellant, Himakshi, was selected despite having only one year of experience, possessing a Master's degree, and scoring the highest marks. The respondent, Rahul, who had six years of experience but a lower score, challenged her selection. The High Court's Division Bench set aside Himakshi's appointment, finding neither candidate met the essential qualifications.
