Supreme Court Declines to Hear Plea on Tripura Job Notification

The Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge against a notification requiring permanent resident certificates for government job applications in Tripura. The petitioner was advised to approach the Tripura High Court. The case involves constitutional questions on domicile-based job reservations and related autonomy issues in local governance.

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to consider a petition challenging a notification requiring permanent resident certificates for job applications in Tripura's government departments.

A bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih suggested that the petitioner take his grievance to the high court instead. The petition was subsequently withdrawn.

The legal debate touched on a recent Supreme Court verdict deeming domicile-based reservations in postgraduate courses unconstitutional. The petitioner was advised to approach the Tripura High Court regarding intricate legal questions of local governance and autonomy.
