The director had written to the state government that “reserved category employees were threatening to resort to agitation if they are not given the benefit of reservation.” The letter requested the state government “to re-examine the matter of promotions.”
State counsel VS Rawat, however, pointed out that Section 3 (7) of UP Public Services (Reservation of SCST and OBC) Act which provided for reservation in promotion was struck down by a division bench of the court in 2012.
On Monday, state counsel Rawat cited this judgment to point out that “the benefit of reservation in promotion cannot be given to the petitioner.” The bench concluded that it found merit in the state counsel’s argument and dismissed the petition.
