Sir,
Recently the upsc has conducted a limited exam for selection to the IPS for which Asst Commandant/Dy Commandant of CPO'S, DSP's of State Police Services and Capt/Major of Army are eligible.The Govt has accorded reservation as per governmental policy in the selection process.I would like to know whether reservation for sc/st/obc in this case can be challenged, since all the officers who have appeared for this exam have completed minimum 5 years service as Group A Gazetted officers, and are not economically,socially or educationally backward.

of course!The obc certificates are valid for one year only from the date of issue.It could be obtained on the basis of the income limit,which is inconsistent since these aspirants would have exceeded the income limit.

Thank you for your response, sir.But the govt rules and Suppreme Court rulings on reservation mention that the status and income level of the parents is the determinant for reservation, and not that of the candidate, from what i understand.In such a case, is it still possible to file a PIL in the case mentioned? If yes, how do i go about it?
