Amol vs State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the appellant seeking appointment as Krishi Sevak, affirming the findings of the Tribunal and High Court that the appellant was not eligible for appointment under the Scheduled Castes category due to insufficient marks (46.25%) compared to the last successful candidate (62.75%). The Court reiterated that the appointment was mistakenly offered under the Ex-Serviceman quota, which was corrected upon verification of records. The judgment upheld the principle that appointments must adhere to merit and eligibility criteria as per the relevant rules.
