S.PUSHPA . vs SIVACHANMUGAVELU . — C.A. No. 6 - 7/1998

Case Summary: S. Pushpa v. Sivachanmugavelu (2005) Decision: The Supreme Court allowed the appeals and set aside the Central Administrative Tribunal's judgment that had invalidated the selection of migrant Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates for teacher positions in Pondicherry. The Court held that migrant SC candidates from other states are eligible for reserved posts in Pondicherry, as the Union Territory is governed differently from states under Article 239 of the Constitution and consistently follows Central Government reservation policies extending benefits to all recognized SC candidates regardless of state origin.
