The Supreme Court in
the matter of M. Nagaraj case, while upholding validity of the
Constitution amendments regarding reservation in promotion to the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, has laid down certain
pre-requisite conditions for providing reservation in promotion to SCs
and STs, namely the State has to see about inadequacy of representation,
backwardness of the class and efficiency of administration. To overcome
these pre-requisite conditions, the Government proposed to introduce a
bill to amend the Constitution. Opinion of the Attorney General of India
was sought on the proposed bill and he had not opined that the Bill on
the Constitutional amendment for reservation of Scheduled
Castes/Scheduled Tribes in promotion in the Government jobs was
erroneous.
The Bill aims to amend Article 16(4A) so as to continue with existing provisions of reservation in promotion to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, without any impediment.
This was stated by Shri V. Narayanasamy, Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office in written reply to a question by Shri Yashvir Singh and Shri Neeraj Shekhar in the Lok Sabha today.
