Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether appointments made under a quota system exceeded the 10% limit fixed by the Court, and whether the High Court erred in dismissing the writ petition challenging these appointments. The Court analyzed the validity of the appointments and the applicability of the quota rules in light of Supreme Court directives. It upheld the principle that appointments exceeding the prescribed quota without proper authorization are unlawful. The Court ultimately dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision.
