Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of appointment of candidates under the Differently Abled category in the Rajasthan Judicial Service Examination, 2016. It held that the private respondent, who applied as a General category candidate and did not indicate her disability in the application, could not later claim consideration under the Differently Abled category. The Court emphasized that adherence to the application process is crucial, and thus upheld the High Court's decision to deny her request for appointment based on her later representation, affirming the principle that candidates must apply under the correct category from the outset.
