Ram Kumar Gijroya vs Delhi Sub. Services Selection Bd. & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the eligibility of candidates under the O.B.C. category who submitted their certificates after the application deadline, specifically examining the implications of the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board's (DSSSB) advertisement. The Court held that the candidates' late submission of O.B.C. certificates does not automatically disqualify them from selection, emphasizing the need for a fair consideration of their applications as per the precedent set in Pushpa v. Government of NCT of Delhi. The Court ultimately reversed the High Court's decision, allowing the candidates to be reconsidered for selection under the O.B.C. category.
