Swaminathan<\/span>*, J. has upheld the impugned order mandating 40% marks in Tamil paper and said that the order was in consonance with Section 21A of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000695299\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a> and in matters concerning recruitment, the employer can prescribe the qualifications and the Court will not interfere in such policy matters unless it is illegal or without jurisdiction. The petitioners complained that if 150 marks of Part A is taken into consideration then that would put them at disadvantage as they are not proficient in Tamil as others, and this would lead to 100% reservation for Tamil Medium candidates whereas only 20% horizontal reservation is allowed for the candidates studied in Tamil Medium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000695299\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016<\/a> was enacted to regulate the service conditions of the Tamil Nadu Government servants.

The Court also said that the employer has the power to prescribe the qualifications and in the present case persons serving Group IV posts will be required to engage in direct communication with the public and hence need to be fluent in Tamil. The Court provided for the exemption of differently abled persons who have studied English in Board\/University can opt for General English (SSLC Standard) instead of the Tamil Eligibility-cum-Scoring Test which will include no translation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Bench held that the order was in consonance with Section 21A of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000695299\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a> and in matters concerning the recruitment the employer can prescribe the qualifications and the Court will not interfere in such policy matters unless it is illegal or without jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">S.
