SATYAMURTHY vs SEC.TO GOVT.. — SLP(C) No. 9231/2010

Summary of SLP(C) No. 9231/2010 – Satyamurthy v. Sec. to Govt. The Supreme Court dismissed Satyamurthy's Special Leave Petition on 05/04/2010. Satyamurthy, appointed as a general category candidate by Southern Railways, feared dismissal if the Caste Verification Committee negated his Schedule Tribe status claim. The Court held that automatic dismissal applies only to reserved category appointees; since he was appointed as general category, negation of his caste claim would not warrant automatic termination, and he retained the right to challenge any adverse action based on his good faith caste claim.
