IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CIVIL APPEAL NO.______/2024 [@ SPECIAL LEAVE PETITION (CIVIL) No.2457/2024]
THE STATE OF CHHATTISGARH & ORS. APPELLANT(s)
VERSUS
SANDHYA RANI SINGH & ANR. RESPONDENT(S)
O R D E R
Leave granted.
It is an admitted position that the Caste Scrutiny
Committee has rejected the caste claim of the first
respondent. Therefore, the order passed by the learned
Single Judge of reinstatement along with monetary benefits
which is confirmed by the Division Bench cannot be
sustained.
Accordingly, the impugned orders are set aside.
However, it will be open for the first respondent to
challenge the order passed by the Caste Scrutiny Committee
in accordance with law.
The Appeal is accordingly allowed.
Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed
of.
