NEW DELHI: The Centre on Friday made a powerful pitch in Supreme Court for reservation in promotions to the workers of the SC/ST neighborhood.
When requested via the apex courtroom on the adequacy of reservation, the Centre made its stand very transparent and said "in promotions, the SC and ST together must account for 23 of every 100 promotions in a year. Otherwise, the affirmative action would remain an illusion."
Attorney normal KK Venugopal, showing for the Centre, said reservations were given to the SC and ST communities to right a wrong they had suffered for more than 1000 years. "Atrocities on them happen even today," he said.
A five-judge bench headed via CJI Dipak Misra requested the Centre to turn out why the Supreme Court's 2006 ruling asking states to get quantifiable information to turn out backwardness prior to granting reservation is wrong.
To this, the Centre informed the apex courtroom that there was no need for trying out backwardness of SC/ST workers while granting promotion as the highest courtroom itself in Indra Sawhney case had said that the test of backwardness does no longer apply to SCs and STs as they're presumed to be backward.
The top courtroom requested the Centre why no state had till date undertaken the exercise of collecting quantifiable information about inadequacy of SC/ST illustration in promotion for each and every cadre of posts.
