casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court disposed of multiple special leave petitions concerning a flawed recruitment exercise by Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. where Ex-Servicemen reservation was applied vertically instead of horizontally, excluding certain candidates. The Court granted liberty to the petitioners to file a review petition before the High Court's Division Bench within three weeks, with operation of the impugned order stayed during this period, allowing reconsideration of the affidavit filed regarding only three candidates qualifying for appointment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
