Reservation in promotion - Treatment of SC/ST candidates promoted on their own merit

"Religion must mainly be a matter of principles only. It cannot be a matter of rules. The moment it degenerates into rules, it ceases to be a religion, as it kills responsibility which is an essence of the true religious act". Babasheb.DR.B. R. Ambedkar.

promoted on their own merit.
--------
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department's
O.M.No.36028117i2001-Est(tR.e s.) dated I lLhJ uly: 2002 which clarified
that SC/ ST candidates appointed by promotion on their own merit and not
owing to reservation or relaxation of qualifications will be adjusted against
un-reserved points of the reservation roster and not against reserved points.
It was subsequently clarified by this Department's O.M. No.3602811712001-
Estt. (Res.) dated 31.1.2005 that the above referred O.M. took effect from
11.7.2002 and that concept of own merit did not apply to the promotions
made by non-selection method.
2. Central Administration Tribunal, Madras Bench in O.A. No.90012005
[S. Kalugasalamoorthy vls. Union of India & Others] has set aside the O.M.

is selected on the basis of his own seniority. the scope of considering and
counting him against quota reserved for SCs does not arise. The High

  1. What is going on this om 10.08.2010
    Please read the followings.
    IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.CWP No. 13218 of 2009 (O&M)Date of Decision: July 15, 2011Lachhmi Narain Gupta and others…Petitioners Versus arnail Singh and others…Respondents
    40. As a sequel to the above discussion, the judgment of the Tribunal is set aside. The instructions dated 31.1.2005 (R-2) stands withdrawn on 10.8.2010 (P-10). Therefore, no order is required to be passed in respect of those instructions dealing with the subject of reservation in promotion and the treatment of SC/ST candidates promoted on their own merit. Likewise, the instructions dated10.8.2010 (P-16) are hereby quashed because they are in direct conflict with the view taken by the Constitution Bench in M.Nagaraj’s case (supra) and Suraj Bhan Meena’s case (supra). It is further directed that the seniority and promotion of the Income Tax Inspectors shall be made without any element of reservation in promotion.
    41. The writ petition stands disposed of in the above terms.
