Want SC/ST reservation for promotion in govt jobs: Govt to SC
The government wants 22.5% reservation for SC and ST candidates in promotion in government jobs, Attorney General KK Venugopal told the Supreme Court on Friday. Venugopal also added that excluding the 'creamy layer', comprising relatively forward members of OBCs, from promotion was a "hindrance". In 2006, the Court had ruled reservation in promotion of government servants was not mandatory.
