K. Ameer Khan & Anr vs A. Gangadharan & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order regarding the selection process for the post of Assistant Controller of Stores, emphasizing the necessity of reserving posts for Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates as mandated by prior judgments in R.K. Sabharwal & Ors. vs. State of Punjab and Union of India & Ors. vs. Virpal Singh Chauhan. The Court ruled that while the appellants' promotions should not be disturbed due to their prior selection, future recruitments must accommodate the required reservations. The decision ensures compliance with the statutory reservation requirements while maintaining equity for the appellants.
