Poonam Patwal vs Government of NCT of Delhi

The Supreme Court set aside a Division Bench order that had interfered with a Single Judge's decision regarding the removal of a Deputy Registrar from service. The Court ruled that an intra-court appeal under the Letters Patent does not permit an appellate bench to overturn a writ court's order merely for holding a different view, requiring instead a glaring or demonstrable error.

A division bench of the Telangana High Court dismissed a batch of petitions challenging the 30% reservation for D.Ed. qualified candidates for Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) posts in the DSC-2008 recruitment process. The petitioners argued that the amendment to the recruitment rules, introduced via GO Ms No 28 on January 29, 2009, was arbitrary as it occurred after the initial notification. The court upheld the reservation, noting that recruitment conditions must be transparent and that the government's actions were consistent with earlier judicial directions.
