The Supreme Court on
Tuesday (05.06.18) allowed the Centre to provide reservation in promotion for
employees of the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe community as per law, till
the issue is cleared off by a constitution bench.
Additional Solicitor
General (ASG) Maninder Singh, representing the Centre, said that promotions for
SC/ST employees came to a standstill after orders were passed by several high
courts in regard to this issue.
"It is the duty
of the government to provide reservation to SC/ ST employees in jobs," he
said.
Reportedly, the Delhi
High Court in August last year had passed an order saying that the government
cannot blindly provide reservation in promotion to SCs and STs, until and
unless there is an adequate representation for the candidate.
