In Brief
The appellant applied for the post of Krishi Sevak (agricultural officer) in Maharashtra's Department of Agriculture under the reserved quota for Ex-Servicemen. Although he scored only 46.25%, he was offered appointment. The appellant later contended that his appointment was only under the Scheduled Castes category, arguing that candidates in that category had scored significantly higher (62.75%). The Supreme Court found no reason to interfere with the concurrent findings of the lower Tribunal and High Court and dismissed his appeal, upholding the validity of the appointment process."
