Promotions: SC not to dilute quota rule

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to interfere with the conditions for providing reservation in promotion for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, saying it can’t lay down a new yardstick as the criteria are already specified in the earlier judgments of the Supreme Court in 2006 and 2018. The top court asked states to collect this quantifiable data reflecting on adequacy or inadequacy of SC/ST candidates in the jobs before implementing reservation in promotion for them. The court gave broad parameters on reservation in promotions for SCs and STs employees and will decide the validity of Centre and state government policies for reservation in promotion on those parameters. The court said the Nagaraj judgment in 2006 had laid down conditions like collection of quantifiable data, adequacy of representation and overall impact on efficiency of administration, for granting reservations in promotion. Pavitra II judgment with regard to collection of quantifiable data is in contradiction to the Nagaraj judgment.” “Taking into account the data pertaining to a ‘group’, which would be an amalgamation of certain cadres in service, would not give the correct picture of the inadequacy of representation of SCs and STs in the cadre in relation to which reservation in promotions is sought to be made.
