Bombay High Court Disallows Maratha Community Candidates To Avail Retrospective Benefits Under EWS Category In MSEDCL Recruitment Drive

Case: Vikas Balwant Alase & Ors. Vs. Union of India through Secretary & Ors. with connected matters

Coram: Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice MS Karnik

Case No.: Writ Petition No. 2663 Of 2021

Court Observation: “EWS category candidates definitely had accrued right to be considered for appointment. In such circumstances, the decision of the State to permit such migration midway through the selection process is arbitrary and unfair,” “While we have sympathy for the SEBC candidates, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that the situation is the result of their own making. The SEBC candidates were aware about the matter pending before the Supreme Court despite which they took a chance to participate in the recruitment process claiming reservation meant for SEBC,”
