Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order regarding the selection for the post of Assistant Controller of Stores, emphasizing the necessity of reserving posts for Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates as per the Railway Board's instructions and previous rulings in R.K. Sabharwal & Ors. vs. State of Punjab & Ors. and Union of India & Ors. vs. Virpal Singh Chauhan. The Court ruled that while the appellants' promotions should not be disturbed, future selections must accommodate the required reservations. The appeals were disposed of without costs.
