On behalf of the petitioner, the court was told that the qualification published by the state government in the advertisement for the educational qualification for the reinstatement to the post of Amin was not in accordance with the provisions. As per the Bihar Amin Cadre Rule, the candidate must have passed 10+2 with Amanat’s degree or ITI in Surveyor’s degree. According to the educational qualification that was kept in the advertisement issued by the Revenue Department of the State Government, it was sufficient for the candidate to pass only 10+2.
