casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of multiple special leave petitions arising from a High Court judgment that directed Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. to conduct fresh recruitment with proper horizontal reservation for Ex-Servicemen (instead of vertical). The Court allowed the petitioner-employer a 3-week window to file a Review Petition before the High Court, during which the Division Bench order's operation remains stayed, directing the High Court to properly consider an affidavit (dated 25.08.2025) regarding three eligible candidates who could be appointed without conducting full fresh recruitment.
