GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB VS Mst. SABA JABEEN appointment to advertised post---Wrong description of qualification---Scope---Respondent applied for the post of ESE (Sci-Math)---Policy for Recruitment provided that for appointment as ESE (Sci-Math), academic qualification of a candidate must be B.Sc. with at least two subjects out of Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, Physics, Math-a Course, Math-B Course and Math or B.Sc./B.a. in other subjects with F.Sc.---Respondent claimed to have passed her B.Sc. after having passed her F.Sc. Examination with Physics, Mathematics and Statistics---authorities held that the respondent was not entitled to be appointed as she had passed her Intermediate Examination in General Science Group and her qualification could not be equated with F.Sc.---Respondent's constitutional petition against said order was accepted---Validity---F.Sc. by itself was no qualification and the term 'F.Sc' was alien to the Scheme of Studies/System of Education being non-existent---Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education issued certificates to the successful candidates of Intermediate Examination with the specification as Intermediate (annual/Supplementary) Examination and Groups such as Pre-Medical, Pre-Engineering, General Science, etc---appellants' inviting applications from the candidates requiring qualification as F.Sc. was wrong---High Court observed that since the qualification acquired by the respondent did not match with requirements of the authorities as such she was rightly declared ineligible to be appointed against the post advertised---Order passed by Single Judge of High Court was set aside and the appeal was allowed.
