The West Bengal High Court dismissed Sufeia Khatun's writ petition seeking to change her examination category from EWS to OBC-A after taking the SLST exam and receiving results. The court held that allowing such a belated category change would prejudice successful candidates in the OBC category and that the petition was a request for mercy rather than redressal of a legal violation. The petitioner was permitted to present her credentials in the general category for consideration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
