Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined a challenge to the reservation policy in the recruitment process for Civil Judge posts in Chhattisgarh. The appellants, who secured higher marks than some women candidates, were placed in the waiting list due to reservation quotas. The courts upheld the validity of the reservation policy, affirming that such policies are within the constitutional framework and are aimed at ensuring equality and affirmative action. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the legality of the reservation system in this context.
