Supreme Court bars reserved candidates who availed relaxations from unreserved posts in RPF, but allows It in CISF recruitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Court held that reserved category candidates who availed age\/physical relaxations cannot be appointed against unreserved vacancies if the recruitment rules expressly bar such migration (as in RPF).
