Rajasthan government caps quota in promotions
Source: DNA | Last Updated 02:56(13/09/11)
Jaipur: Acting under the Supreme Court's instructions, the state
government cleared the way for pending promotions of Rajasthan
Administrative Service (RAS) officers and thousands of government
employees, on Monday.
The government had stalled the promotion process in December last year
after the apex court upheld Rajasthan High Court's decision to quash
its notifications for quota in promotions of government employees.
The government also withdrew the two notifications, dated December 28,
2002, and April 25, 2008. While, the notification of 2002 allowed
benefit of reservation in promotion and consequential seniority to the
scheduled castes (SC) and scheduled tribe (ST) employees, the 2008
notification discontinued 'catch-up' rule (Regaining) that allowed
general and other backward classes (OBC) employees to reclaim their
seniority over junior employees from reserved category who were
promoted on quota seats. The matter is likely to come up for hearing
in the High Court on Tuesday.
However, the general category and OBC employees are unhappy as the new
notification issued by the department of personnel on Sunday
maintained the policy of reservation in promotion and consequential
seniority.
The new notification issued on Sunday says: "Reservation for SC/ST
employees, with consequential seniority, shall continue till the
roster points are exhausted and adequacy of promotion is achieved."
However, promotion quota will be capped at 16 percent for SC and 12
percent for ST.
In simple words, the SC and ST employees would not get promotion in
excess of their allotted quota.
