Reservation in Promotion Stayed by HC

Reservation in Promotion Stayed by Punjab and Haryana High Court

The Punjab and Haryana High Court stayed the Haryana Government’s notification reserving 20 per cent seats for scheduled caste employees in promotions.

This notification was issued on May 15, providing the quota benefit to Class III and IV staff with effect from April 1, 2013. As the issue came up for hearing, Justice Amit Rawal passed the orders while hearing a petition filed by Dinesh Kumar Sharma and other assistants in the Haryana Civil Secretariat for quashing the notification.

Next Date of hearing-

After hearing the arguments, the court stayed the May 15 notification besides issuing a notice of motion to Haryana. The case will now come up for hearing on October 16.
