The High Court had canceled the selection lists of June 2020 and January 2022 citing flaws in following the reservation rules.

The court also said that time is needed for a thorough review of the matter, and for this two nodal lawyers have been appointed from both the sides. The state government has also been ordered to file its written reply on this.
