yes i know he pays fee as obc candidate, but this is rule that when obc or sc candidate scores as an general candidate cutoff then they shall be treated as general category candidate and will get seat in general category.

See i will explain you the crux general category is open if in case they fix general seats for only general candidates than it will be a reservation for general category which is not possible. that why when they qualify merit of general category they are treat in general category.

(Recently RPSC the Rajasthan public Service commission in there PSC exam did as you are saying and the same was struck down by SC as there can be no reservation in general category.)

Dear friend,

If an OBC Candidate gets a higher marks than general candidate than the OBC candidate can take the seat of a general candidate. That means that they may have applied under OBC CATEGORY but the allotment will be done under general category. I am sorry to say that there is no law which favors you. The above selection is fare.and according to recruitment rules. You have misconceived it as "Can reservation be provided in two stages of any govt recruitment". Any way as your name is placed in Waiting List, you may get the post in future.

The Law is Clear: Reserved Category Candidates Are Entitled to General Seats on the Basis of Merit

There is no law prescribing reservation for general category candidates in public employment and therefore there's no question of reserved category candidates being selected against “their seats”.

However if age relaxation was availed by the candidate under OBC, then they may not be eligible for getting appointment in the general category.

Considering the reservation policy applicable in the State of Gujarat contained in circular dated 29.01.2000 and 23.07.2004 and relevant statutory provisions i.e. Recruitment Rules, 1967, 2009 and 2010, it is held that all those candidates belonging to the reserved category if they avail the benefit of age relaxation, it is held to be relaxation in the standard, and therefore, are not entitled to their cases being considered for General Category vacancies and that their cases are required to be considered for the reserved category vacancies.”

if the obc candidate who has been selected from UR category has paid examination fees from obc category

In Deepa E.V., the appellant belonged to the OBC category and had availed age relaxation (as was granted to OBC category candidates). Since no candidate from the general category had secured the minimum cut-off score, the appellant filed a writ petition before the high court to be accommodated in the general category. The high court dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed this decision and held that:

“The appellant, who has applied under OBC Category by availing age relaxation and also attending the interview under the ‘OBC Category’ cannot claim right to be appointed under the General Category.”

The reason, as per the court, was “there is an express bar for the candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC who have availed relaxation for being considered for General Category candidates.” The court was reading the existing rules and proceedings of Department of Personnel and Training, which stated that: “[W]hen a relaxed standard is applied in selecting an SC/ST/OBC candidates, for example in the age-limit, experience, qualification, permitted number of chances in written examination, extended zone of consideration larger than what is provided for general category candidates, etc., the SC/ST/OBC candidates are to be counted against reserved vacancies. Such candidates would be deemed as unavailable for consideration against unreserved vacancies.”

You need to check their service rules by filing RTI. If there is any inconsistencies then you need to file writ petition for the same in HC.
