"What is indeed required is to see that the nation gets the benefits of time, money and energy spent on the trainees which would be so when they are employed in preference to non-trained recruits. This would also meet the legitimate expectations of the trainees."

The Supreme Court further went on to lay down four principles in respect of the persons sent for special training at the State expenses. Those are as under :-

"(1) Other things, a trained apprentice should be given preference over direct recruits.
(2) For this, a trainee would not be required to get his name sponsored by any employment exchange. The decision of this Court in Union of India v. N. Hargopal would permit this.
(3) If age bar would come in the way of the trainee, the same would be relaxed in accordance with what is stated in this regard, if any, in the service rule concerned. If the service rule be silent on this aspect, relaxation to the extent of the period for which the apprentice had undergone training would be given.
(4) The training institute concerned would maintain a list of the persons trained yearwise. The persons trained earlier would be treated as senior to the persons trained later. In between the trained apprentices, preference shall be given to those who are senior."
