    Case Summary: LPA 188/2023 The Jharkhand High Court dismissed the appellants' Letters Patent Appeal challenging a 2017 single judge's order dismissing their recruitment dispute. The court found the appeal barred by limitation (filed 6 years late without condonation application) and, on merits, rejected the appellants' claim that reserved-category candidates with age relaxation were improperly appointed to general-category posts. The court held that reserved candidates scoring higher marks than general-category candidates can legitimately be appointed to general seats, and refused to disturb the appointments at this belated stage. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
