There are several daily orders in these matters. However, what may perhaps be relevant to you is the order dated 29.07.2008 of the Supreme Court in SLP (Civil) Nos. 18272-76/2008, in which it was directed that:
“Until further orders, it is directed that the vacancies to be filled up from amongst Ex-Servicemen shall not be filled up from amongst the persons belonging to the other categories.”
Thereafter, the above SLPs have been converted into regular appeals as Civil Appeal No(s). 2049-2053/2011, and certain other writ petitions have also been tagged with them. From SC website, it appears that these matters were lasted listed on 4 September 2015. However, you may please contact your lawyer to get more details to find out that whether there is any subsequent change in the status of these cases.
