PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION,UTTARANCHAL vs MAMTA BISHT .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision directing the appointment of Ms. Mamta Bisht as Civil Judge, Junior Division, emphasizing the application of horizontal reservation for women candidates from Uttaranchal under the relevant state policy. The Court found that the selection process was flawed as it did not properly account for the eligibility of women candidates who qualified for general category positions, which affected the outcome for respondent No.1. The Court ruled that the selection list was to be amended to reflect the rightful claims of the candidates under the reservation policy, thereby affirming the High Court's order.
