Dismissing the review petitions filed by University Grants Commission and Central Government, the Supreme Court today confirmed its decision that reservations in teaching posts in Universities are to be applied by taking subject/discipline as the unit, instead of the university.The review petitions were filed against the January 22 order of the bench of Justices U U Lalit and Indira. Dismissing the review petitions filed by University Grants Commission and Central Government, the Supreme Court today confirmed its decision that reservations in teaching posts in Universities are to be applied by taking subject/discipline as the unit, instead of the university. The High Court also held that sameness of pay-scale cannot be taken to consider teaching posts in various subjects as a single cadre : "Merely because Assistant Professor, Reader, Associate Professor and Professor of each subject or the department are placed in the same pay-scale but their services are neither transferable nor they are in competition with each other. While allowing the petition, the High Court also made certain observations on the need to revisit the policy of applying reservations in teaching posts, based on the remarks in Indira Sawhney and Nagaraj judgments.
