Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 12936/2026 Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. v. Manoj Ranjan Khuntia The Supreme Court disposed of multiple linked petitions challenging a High Court division bench order on recruitment with vertical ex-servicemen reservation. The Court found the division bench failed to adequately consider Mahanadi's affidavit showing only three candidates qualified under correct horizontal reservation application. The Court stayed the division bench's order for three weeks and granted liberty to Mahanadi to file a review petition before the High Court for proper consideration of the affidavit, without expressing merits opinion.
