ARVIND KUMAR TIWARI vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH — W.P.(C) No. 1369/2018

SUMMARY The Supreme Court dismissed writ petitions filed by candidates who failed to secure minimum 50% marks in objective-type subjects of a 2011 Sub-Inspector promotion examination. The Court held that candidates failing to achieve 50% in each subject were disqualified and ineligible for Hindi Essay evaluation, consistent with Rule 16 of the recruitment rules. The petitioners were not entitled to extension of benefits granted in the earlier *Raghuraj Singh* case, as those candidates had actually qualified. The staged evaluation process was upheld as valid administrative procedure. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
