    Case Summary: WP(MD)/16379/2026 Outcome: Case admitted and adjourned to 23.06.2026. Status quo maintained. The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court admitted a petition by R. Bhuvaneswari challenging the Joint Director of Collegiate Education's order directing Seethalakshmi Achi College to appoint H. Faritha Begum as HOD of Zoology using communal roster criteria. The court found prima facie that communal roster-based seniority is unlawful per Supreme Court precedent. However, the sixth respondent claimed she is senior to the petitioner regardless. The court directed respondents 4 & 5 (college administration) to maintain status quo pending final hearing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
