HARYANA STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION vs SUBHASH CHAND

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to grant appointment to the first respondent in the EBPGC category, despite the appellant's argument that the respondent did not apply under this category before the cut-off date. The Court noted that the respondent's representation for category change was valid, as the SBC quota was merged into the General category due to prior court orders. The Court emphasized the importance of considering eligibility based on the latest category certificate issued under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, affirming the High Court's ruling against the Haryana Staff Selection Commission.
