Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has ruled that Other Backward Class (OBC) candidates who achieve higher marks than the last selected General category candidate must be appointed through the General quota. This decision stems from a case where OBC candidates qualified for a TTA post but were appointed within the OBC quota, preventing another OBC candidate from being selected. The court emphasised that merit should take precedence, and such meritorious reserved category candidates should be considered for unreserved seats.

Brief :
Reservation is curse for our country. Our great Late Baba Saheb Ambedkar had approved reservations for a certain period only. But greedy politicians have extended year to year. The reservation system is killing intelligentsia of the country. Out Constitution has given us right of equality and equal treatment by the Governments, but due to reservation ,General Category candidates feel cheated by the system and generally they not applied for Government Jobs. This reservation system generates hate among society and reserve category candidates also feel the same.
