SWATI vs DAMODAR ANANT KARANDIKAR .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of reservation percentages for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in promotional posts within the Bombay Port Trust, referencing the Major Port Trust Act, 1963, specifically Sections 28 and 126. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the reservation ratio should align with state policies rather than the All-India percentage, thereby ensuring justice for Scheduled Tribes in Maharashtra. The appeal by members of the reserved categories challenging the High Court's ruling was dismissed, affirming the necessity of adhering to state-specific reservation ratios.
