DAYA RAM TRIPATHI vs STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that the letter dated 1.3.1979 from the Uttar Pradesh Government did not revoke the 2% reservation for physically handicapped persons established by G.O. No. 43/90/66 dated July 18, 1972. The Court clarified that the 1.3.1979 letter was specific to the recruitment for the Combined State Services Examination of 1978 and did not amend the existing reservation policy. Consequently, the Court allowed the appellant's appeal, affirming the right to reservation in the Provincial Civil Service (Executive Branch).
