    Case Summary: WP/4908/2024 - Abdul Saleem Abdul Razzaque v. State of Maharashtra The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) partly allowed the writ petition of Abdul Saleem Abdul Razzaque, a Project Affected Person (PAP) whose land was acquired for a water resource project. The court found that the Zilla Parishad violated its own recruitment advertisement by failing to apply horizontal 5% reservation for PAPs to the Extension Officer (Education) position, contrary to Government Resolutions providing such reservation. The court rejected the respondent's arguments that horizontal reservation had "no scope" and that the petitioner was over-age, ruling both grounds unsustainable in law. The court directed the Zilla Parishad to reconsider the petitioner's candidature under the 5% PAP quota in accordance with applicable legal guidelines and principles governing horizontal reservation.
