New Delhi, September 26

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said its 2006 verdict putting benefits of quotas in job promotions for SC/ST employees need not be referred to the seven-judge bench.

The apex court also turned down the Centre’s plea that overall population of SC/ST be considered for granting quota for them.

The unanimous judgement was pronounced by a five-judge Constitution bench.

The bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said states need not collect quantifiable data on backwardness of SC/ST for giving quota in job promotion to SC/ST employees.

The top court did not comment on two other conditions given in the 2006 verdict which dealt with adequacy of representation of SC/ST in promotion and not to disturb administrative efficiency.

The court’s verdict came on petitions seeking that a seven-judge bench reconsider the court’s 2006 judgement which had put conditions for granting quota benefits in job promotions for SC/ST employees. PTI
