    The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition filed by Madhurima Mondal, who sought to change her recruitment application category from General to OBC-B after exam results were published. The court held that since the petitioner lacked a valid caste certificate on the application date, failed to update her details during the prescribed editing window (July-August 2025), and only approached the court belatedly in January 2026 (after results were published in December 2025), she could not be permitted to modify her application at that stage, as doing so would deny equal opportunity to similarly situated applicants. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
