OBC candidate scores more than general selectee after age relaxation, Centre opposes category switch in SC

Wait 5 sec.

An OBC candidate from Tripura scored 55.1 marks in a 2018 constable recruitment test, above the 46.26 scored by a selected general category candidate, but was not selected after using age relaxation. The Tripura High Court ruled that he should be considered for selection. The Centre has challenged the rulings in the Supreme Court, citing recruitment rules on category migration.
