‘Dissatisfaction can arise due to abolishing the reservation given to them in promotion’: Meanwhile, the central government has told the Supreme Court that dissatisfaction with the scrapping of reservation in promotions for government employees belonging to the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (SC/STs) may arise. Several petitions can be filed against this decision.
Justice L. Nageswara Rao and Justice B.R. In the affidavit filed before Gavai’s bench, the Center said that the policy of reservation is in accordance with the Constitution and the law laid down by this court. The Center said, “If the case is not allowed, then there will be a need to withdraw the benefits of reservation in promotion to the employees of SC/ST. This may lead to repatriation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes employees, re-fixation of their salaries. This includes rescheduling of pension of several employees who may retire in the meantime.
According to the government, this can lead to recovery of additional salary/pension paid to them. Hence, many petitions may be filed against it and dissatisfaction may arise among the employees.” The Center defended its policy saying that the representation of SC/ST in government jobs is inadequate and argued that providing reservation does not disrupt the administrative system.
