casestatus.in Summary

SUMMARY: The Supreme Court disposed of multiple special leave petitions against Orissa High Court's division bench order that upheld a direction for fresh recruitment with supernumerary posts after ex-servicemen reservation was wrongly applied vertically instead of horizontally. The Court granted the petitioners (Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd.) liberty to file a review petition within three weeks before the High Court's division bench, during which the division bench's operation remains stayed, allowing reconsideration of the affidavit dated 25.08.2025 concerning three identified eligible candidates.
