Union Of India vs Mukesh Kumar Meena

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had granted grace marks to Mukesh Kumar Meena, a Scheduled Tribe candidate, in a departmental examination for Income Tax Inspectors. The court found that the High Court had erred in treating him as belonging to the general category for the purpose of grace marks. The judgment emphasized adherence to the rules governing the examination and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the selection process.
