The Rajasthan High Court asked the State government to explain why cut-off marks as low as zero were fixed for recruiting Class IV employees in reserved categories. Justice Anand Sharma called the situation “shocking,” saying it raises serious questions about maintaining standards in public employment.
The Supreme Court ruled that a reserved category candidate who avails relaxation in the Preliminary Examination cannot be considered selected on “General Standard” for cadre allocation. This holds true even if their final rank surpasses a General category candidate.
