Reservation in Promotion
The instructions issued by Department of Personnel &
Training provide for reservation in promotion to persons belonging to Scheduled
Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in posts in the Central Government upto
the lowest rung of Group 'A'. These instructions are also being implemented by
Central Public Sector Undertakings, wherever reservation in promotion is
applicable.
The Supreme Court in its judgment dated 19.10.2006 in the
matter of M. Nagaraj & Others vs. Union of India and Ors., while upholding
the validity of some of the Constitutional Amendments, observed that the
concerned State will have to show in each case the existence of compelling reasons,
namely, backwardness, inadequacy of representation and overall efficiency of
administration before providing reservation in promotion. In order to provide
impediment free reservation in promotion to SCs and STs, the Constitution (One
Hundred and Seventeenth Amendment) Bill, 2012 was introduced in Rajya Sabha in
September, 2012. The Bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha on 17.12.2012 and
transmitted to the Lok Sabha for consideration and passing. The Bill could not
be considered in the Lok Sabha and lapsed on the dissolution of 15th Lok Sabha.
The issues emanating from the Supreme Court judgment in M. Nagaraj case are
under examination.
This was stated by Minister of State for Personnel,
Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the PMO Dr. Jitendra
Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri Kaushal Kishore in the Lok Sabha
today.
