Respected Sir,
Can SC/ST candidate apply for the service of assistant professor on the post reserved for open category? I come to knowledge that recently Supreme Court held that on the open post only open candidate can apply for it and no one else. is it true. Please send the authority of SC on this matter.
Thanks.

There is no reservation for people other than SC, ST, OBC, Ex.Service man, Ph.Handicap.
If a post is not reserved indicates that it is open to all the eligible people irrespective of the fact that they have reservation or not. Such posts are "UR" i.e unreserved.
If you fulfill the eligibility criteria, you can apply. It does not require any court's ruling.

No, the information is not true. No post is reserved for general category people where all can apply.

there cannot be any post on which one is barred for being SC/ST. It is your strong misconception that a post can be reserved for UR.
