BENGALURU: The Supreme Court’s directive to put into effect its February nine, 2017 order to revise the promotion checklist of government workers within a month has come as a setback for the Congress executive.
The executive has been dragging its toes on the delicate issue for roughly a year as a result of the impending meeting polls.

SC rejects state’s plea for 6-month extension
The state’s plea for a sixmonth extension was once rejected on Tuesday via a bench headed via AK Goel who gave April 25 cut-off date to put into effect the order after senior suggest Mukul Rohatgi, on behalf of the state, submitted the revised seniority checklist of departments.
“If the directives aren't complied with, then the executive secretary has to look earlier than the court on April 25,”Justice Goel mentioned.
This would mean that after the seniority lists are printed and carried out via quite a lot of departments in a month, about 10,000 SC/ST officials would face demotion, as promotions of general-category workers are effected. This leaves the federal government in a difficult position as it cannot come up with the money for to antagonize Dalits closer to the polls. “We want to have the opportunity to defer the implementation via a couple of months,’’ a minister mentioned.
