casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the Union of India's appeals challenging the Madras High Court's 2008 judgment that had upheld the appointment of candidates (including OBC category applicants) to School Assistant Grade II posts under Notification No.3025/Edn./Estt.II/D/2001. The Court cited the passage of time and totality of circumstances in declining to interfere, while leaving the underlying question of law open as requested by the Attorney General. The candidates were permitted to continue discharging their duties as the judgment's operation was not stayed during the appeal proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
