Niranjan Singh And Ors. vs State Of U.P. And Ors. on 7 December, 2004
In State of H.P. and Ors. v. Padam Dev, (2002) 4 SCC 510, the Supreme Court while considering the policy of training of persons as veterinary pharmacists to persons in Gopal Sahayak Yojna and not to those trained under Dairy Scheme held that where the classification between the candidates is distinct and clearly defined as regards the eligibility criteria, the distinction made between the candidates of two schemes was permissible as the classification was founded on an intelligible differentia and where it is shown that the differentia has a rationale relation to the object sought to be achieved by the policy decision, the Courts should not interfere.
