Pavitra Portal Not Mandatory for Scheduled Area Appointments | Bombay HC Clarifies Reservation Compliance : Bombay HC (Aurangabad Bench)
Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) quashed an Education Officer's order rejecting a Scheduled Tribe candidate's appointment as Shikshan Sevak, ruling that compliance with the Pavitra Portal is not mandatory for Scheduled Area appointments if roster verification is sufficient. The judgment clarifies that Government Resolutions mandating portal compliance do not override constitutional reservation safeguards in Scheduled Areas.
