casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court disposed of eight special leave petitions arising from a High Court order regarding a flawed recruitment exercise where Ex-Servicemen reservation was applied vertically instead of horizontally. The Court granted the petitioner (Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd.) liberty to file a Review Petition before the Division Bench within three weeks, during which the High Court's order operation is stayed, noting that the High Court failed to adequately consider the petitioner's affidavit showing only three candidates qualified under corrected criteria. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
