Merit Overrides Reservation Cut-Offs | OBC Candidate Scoring Higher Than UR Candidates Entitled to Unreserved Post: Tripura HC
Tripura High Court ruled that an OBC candidate who secures higher marks than general category candidates cannot be denied appointment to unreserved posts merely due to availing reservation benefits. The court emphasized that merit must prevail, and selection authorities must disclose cut-off marks to ensure transparency and equal protection under service law.
