Minister of DOPT Shri.V.Narayanasamy replied to a question in Rajaya
Sabha regarding the reservation policy in promotion on 8th August, 2012.
The details were given as written reply that "The Supreme Court in the
matter of M.Nagaraj Vs. Union of India has held that the constitutional
amendments made to enable the State to provide reservation are
constitutionally valid. However, the States have to collect quantifiable
data showing backwardness of the class and inadequacy of representation
of that class in public employment, keeping in mind maintenance of
efficiency of administration, as indicated by Article 335".
Recently, the Supreme Court in the matter of Rajesh Kumar Vs. Uttar
Pradesh Power Corporation Limited has struck down the provision of
reservation in promotion in the services of State of Uttar Pradesh,
because the aforesaid requirements were not complied with.
The aforesaid judgment is in respect of services of State of Uttar Pradesh.
