Govt can't alter reservation rules in all-India services: SC

Reservation rules for general and reserved candidates in all-India
services like IAS and IPS cannot be altered by the government as it
may violate the Constitution, Supreme Court has said.

A Bench of Justices R V Raveendran and A K Patnaik said the roster
system for general, SC, ST and OBC candidates should be adhered to and
reservation in excess of the prescribed quota limit is illegal and
unconstitutional.

"The roster system ensures equitable treatment to both general and
reserved candidates and hence cannot be bypassed on some ground or the
other which may result in unfair treatment to either general
candidates or reserved candidates in violation of their right to
equality under Articles 14 and 16(1) of the Constitution," Justice
Patnaik observed.

The apex court passed the ruling while dealing with the petition of G
Srinivas Rao, an IPS officer and a general candidate, challenging the
Centre's decision to allot him the Manipur-Tripura Joint Cadre on
October 27, 1999, instead of his home cadre Andhra Pradesh.
