The Supreme Court today upheld the Constitutional validity of a UPSC rule allowing merit list candidates, belonging to reserved category, to avail the quota benefit while choosing posts. <br/><br/>A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan set aside the Madras High Court judgement which had declared the Union Public Service Commission rule as unconstitutional. <br/><br/>The Bench said, such migrations of reserved category candidates taking the benefit of reservation even after making into merit list is not inconsistent with the provision of the Constitution. <br/><br/>The court passed the order on a special leave petition filed by the Centre challenging the Madras High Court verdict.<br/>
