G. Srinivas Rao vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court which remanded the case to the Central Administrative Tribunal for fresh consideration regarding the allocation of IPS cadres. The appellant contended that a vacancy for a general candidate was improperly converted to an OBC vacancy, which was not justified as relevant data was available. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the roster system and reservation provisions as per the guidelines established under Article 16 of the Constitution. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order.
