RAMAVATAR vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal for promotion as Engineer-in-Chief based on Scheduled Tribe status, finding the appellant's claim to be highly doubtful. The Court emphasized the need for genuine proof of Scheduled Tribe status, referencing the case of Major Yogendra Narain Yadav vs. State of Bihar. The appellant was allowed to compete as a general candidate, but the High Court's order was upheld, indicating no merit in the appeal.
