NAINITAL: In a landmark judgment, the Uttarakhand High Court has stayed the state government’s order of July 24, 2006, giving 30 per cent horizontal reservation to women candidates of U’khand origin in the examination conducted for the posts of U’khand Combined Service, Senior Service of the State Public Service Commission.
A division bench of Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice R S Khulbe pronounced the verdict on Wednesday after hearing a petition filed by Haryana’s Pavitra Chauhan and 15 others. The petitioners had sought interim permission to appear for the main examination to be held in October, which was strongly opposed by the commission’s counsel but the court has allowed the petitioners to appear in the main examination. Two cut-off lists of unreserved category were taken out in the examination.
