RAVINDER KUMAR vs STATE OF HARYANA .

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition for appointment as a Constable in the Haryana Police was erroneous. The Court found that the High Court failed to recognize that candidates from the reserved category who scored higher than the last selected candidate in the general category should have been appointed in that category, thereby affecting the appellant's eligibility. Consequently, the Court directed the reconsideration of the appellant's case for appointment against the vacancies in the general merit category, emphasizing the need for adherence to the principles of fair selection as per the relevant rules.
