Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court failed to consider the application of Rule 6 of the Central Market Fund Service Rules along with Rule 22(a) of the General Rules regarding reservation for Scheduled Castes. The Court emphasized that the appellant, being from a Scheduled Caste, is entitled to the 15% reservation as per Rule 22(a). Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and remanded the matter for fresh consideration in accordance with law.
