OBC Reservation in Exam Eligibility | Provisional Appearance Permitted Pending Writ Disposal: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has allowed a candidate from the OBC category to appear provisionally in the Assistant Teacher mains exam, reserving one post subject to the final outcome of his writ petition challenging automatic classification under sports quota. This interim relief ensures that merit-based opportunities are not lost due to administrative errors in category allocation, setting a precedent for equitable access to public employment exams amid pending eligibility disputes.
