AJIT SINGH vs THE STATE OF PUNJAB .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of writ petitions challenging the implementation of reservation policies for Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes in the Punjab Civil Secretariat. The Court found that the State's reservation orders, including those from 1949, 1952, and subsequent years, were valid and did not violate the rights of the petitioners. The Court emphasized that the roster system was a legitimate method for implementing reservation and that the petitioners' claims were not substantiated under the relevant provisions of law.
