In Brief
The appellant applied for the post of Krishi Sevak under the Ex-Servicemen reserved quota but obtained only 46.25% marks. He was subsequently offered appointment, claiming it was under the Scheduled Castes category, where the passing mark was 62.75%. The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of the Tribunal and High Court that the appointment was based on the appellant's Ex-Servicemen application and marks. Since 46.25% was insufficient for the Scheduled Castes category, the appeal was dismissed, finding no reason to interfere with the lower courts' decisions.
