Priyanka Prakash Kulkarni vs Maharashtra Public Service Commission

The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against the High Court's dismissal of Writ Petition No. 9040 of 2023, which challenged the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal's decision regarding the eligibility of the Appellant for female reservation in state services. The Court noted that the Appellant was initially unable to provide a valid Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) Certificate by the application deadline but subsequently obtained one after a corrigendum changed the requirements. The Court held that the Appellant should be considered for the Reserved Female Category based on her eligibility and the updated regulations, thereby overturning the lower court's decision.
