Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether a candidate who availed of age relaxation due to belonging to a reserved category can later seek accommodation in the general category. The court ruled that once a candidate benefits from reservation, they cannot switch to the general category for selection purposes. This decision reinforces the integrity of the reservation system in public employment.
