Reservation in promotions ek heated debate wala topic hai. Entry-level reservation to kaafi had tak accept ho chuka, lekin higher posts me quota ke issue pe legal and political tug-of-war chalti rehti hai.
Courts ka stance broadly yeh raha hai ki promotion me reservation automatically allowable nahi; State ko pehle data-based groundwork dikhana hota hai:
- Caste/group abhi bhi backward hai,
- Unka promotion-level representation clearly inadequate hai,
- Overall administrative efficiency compromise nahi ho raha.
Isliye governments ko quantifiable data, commission reports, and periodic review dikhane hote hain. Blanket, open-ended promotion quotas without analysis struck down kiye gaye hain kai baar.
Unreserved employees ka argument hota hai ki seniority and merit heavily dilute ho jayenge; reserved employees ke side se structural bias aur glass ceiling ki baat aati hai. Law dono concerns ko reconcile karne ki koshish karta hai, lekin perfect formula abhi tak nahi.
Ultimately, ye area continuously evolving hai – har new policy wave new litigation cycle trigger karti hai.
