B. K. Pavithra v. Union of India, 2019 SCC OnLine SC 694 

📢 Hey Tumblr peeps! Let's talk about an important legal development in India 🇮🇳 concerning reservation policies and consequential seniority for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs).

🔎 So, there was this case that challenged the Karnataka Extension of Consequential Seniority to Government Servants Promoted on the Basis of Reservation (to the Posts in the Civil Services of the State) Act 2018. The Act basically ensures that SCs and STs promoted under the state's reservation policy since 1978 get their fair share of seniority. But the petitioners weren't too happy about how the state collected data to justify this Act. 😕

❓ The main issue: Is the 2018 Reservation Act valid, given that a similar 2002 Reservation Act was invalidated?

⚖️ The Supreme Court of India weighed in, and guess what? They said the 2018 Act is constitutionally valid! 🎉 Here's why: the data collected by the State government through the Ratna Committee report can only be scrutinized by the Court to a limited extent. After all, reservation policy is mainly up to the legislative/executive branches, not the judiciary.

💡 Some key takeaways:

1️⃣ The Ratna Prabha Committee was set up to analyze the representation of SCs and STs in the State Civil Services and the impact of reservation on overall administrative efficiency.

2️⃣ The Court found that the state government's opinion on the adequacy of SCs and STs representation is ultimately subjective.

3️⃣ Ultimately, equity, justice, and efficiency are variable factors that can only be identified and measured by the State.

So there you have it, folks! The 2018 Reservation Act has been deemed constitutionally valid, and it's an interesting development in India's ongoing conversation on reservation policies and social justice. 🗣️���

Reprioritization of reservation policy: Wards of Ex Servicemen v. Wards of Serving Army Personnel

Viney Kumar v. Union of India & Secretary Higher Education

Writ Petition was dismissed on 03.07.2023

By Hon’ble Mrs. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna J & Hon’ble Mr. Justice Suresh Kumar Kait J

Delhi High Court

Issue before the Court:

Is it justified to place the wards of serving army personnel in Priority category VIII while the wards of ex-servicemen get the benefit of priority VI.

[When wards and wives of ex-servicemen as well as serving personnel who are in receipt of Gallantry Awards, can be placed together in one category, be in Priority V or Priority VII.]

Background:

The son of the petitioner while going through the counselling/cut[1]off charts of various Engineering Colleges of Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi found that the majority of reservation benefits is being taken away only by Priority-VI leaving no seat available for the remaining Priorities, especially Priority-VIII, in getting admission to various professional courses.

Wherefore, the instant petition was filed by petitioner for quashing the Order dt. 21.05.2018 of the Union of India giving the categories of Priority within the reservations provided in the Army quota of 5% for admission to various Colleges; and to give directions to the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 to treat/include Priority No. VIII above the Priority No. VI or in alternative to consider both the Priority Nos. VI and VIII at the same podium for the admissions in the forthcoming Academic Year 2023-24 in medical/professional/non-professional courses.

The revised list of categorizations of priorities vide order dt. 21.05.2018 is as under:

Priority I: Widows/Wards of Defence personnel killed in action.

Priority II: Wards of disabled in action and boarded out from service.

Priority III: Widows/Wards of Defence personnel who died while in service with death attributable to military service.

Priority IV: Wards of disabled in service and boarded out with disability attributable to military service.

Priority V: Wards of Ex-Servicemen and serving personnel who are in receipt of Gallantry Awards: i. Pararn Vir Chakra ii. Ashok Chakra iii. Maha Vir Chakra iv. Kirti Chakra v. Vir Chakra vi. Shaurya Chakra vii. Sena, Nau Sena, Vayu Sena Medal viii. Mention-in-Despatches

Priority VI: Wards of Ex-Servicemen.

Priority VII: Wives of: i) defence personnel disabled in action and boarded out from service. ii) defence personnel disabled in service and boarded out with disability attributable to military service. iii) ex-Servicemen and serving personnel who are in receipt of Gallantry Awards.

Priority VIII: Wards of Serving Personnel.

Priority IX: Wives of Serving Personnel.”

Observation of the Court:

The petitioner has not challenged the reservation of 5% provided to the wards of Armed Forces Personnel but is aggrieved by the wards of ex-servicemen being placed in Priority VI while wards of serving personnel being placed in Priority VIII in the revised list of Priorities.

Horizontal utilization of reservations is the matter of governmental policy & is not in the domain of the Courts to embark upon an inquiry whether a particular public policy is wise and acceptable or whether a better policy can be evolved as was held in the case of Union of India vs. M. Selvakumar (2017) 3 SCC 504.

However, where a policy decision can be faulted on the grounds of mala fide, unreasonableness, arbitrariness or unfairness, the Courts are not prevented to interfere in those circumstances. As has been held by the Apex Cort in the matter of State of Madhya Pradesh vs. Mala Banerjee (2015) 7 SCC 69.

It is a policy decision taken by the Government of India, Ministry of Defence to define the manner in which the reservations by the wards of Army personnel in difference categories shall be availed.

As such, the Government of India vide its order dated 21.05.2018 has provided the Priority list in the order in which the quota of 5% is to be distributed amongst the wards of Armed Forces Personnel, whether retired, disabled or serving in the admissions of the professional courses.

Contention of the Petitioner

Ex Servicemen are getting their pensions as well as due benefits which are commensurate to those which are being enjoyed by the serving personnel.

Whereas, the serving personnel are continuing to face the hardships of service which percolate to their wards as on account of their service contingencies the parents are not able to be equally involved in the education of the wards.

There is no intelligible differentia for placing the wards of serving personnel in a category below the wards of ex-servicemen on the grounds that while ex-servicemen have not only retired from their services and are no longer serving the nation.

The grievance of the petitioner is that while considering the reservation in the prescribed categories, the wards of Ex-Servicemen who fall in Priority VI practically take away the reserved categories despite having scored better ranking, leaving very few vacancy seats for the wards of serving personnel to get the benefit of reservations.

Submission of Respondent- Union of India

The Government of India had taken a decision to give the benefit to the wives and wards of ex-servicemen or Gallantry Award holders, but in the scheme of things, it was found that some vacancies still remained vacant after giving the benefit to the wards of all the categories.

It is only to ensure that the benefit of 5% reservation is fully utilized and exhausted and does not go unutilized that the category of wards of serving personnel has been added as Priority VIII.

Decision

The Instant Writ Petition was dismissed by the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court Comprising as no arbitrariness or mala fide has been brought forth in the Government policy meant for providing reservation to the medical/professional/non-professional courses to interfere with the Government Order dated 21.05.2018 or to reshuffle the Priority categories as provided therein.

Jarnail Singh v. Lachhmi Narayan Gupta, 2018 SCC OnLine SC 1641

📢 Hey Tumblr fam! Let's dive into an important case in India 🇮🇳 that has a significant impact on public employment and equality of opportunity. The case is Jarnail Singh v. Lachhmi Narayan Gupta, 2018 SCC OnLine SC 1641, and it's all about the correctness of the decision in M. Nagaraj v. Union of India.

🤔 The main argument: Is the requirement of collecting quantifiable data on backwardness for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) really necessary, considering they're already presumed to be the most backward among backward classes? And should the creamy layer concept be applied to them?

⚖️ The Supreme Court of India provided some insights:

1️⃣ Social and educational backwardness can't be applied to SCs and STs, as they are undoubtedly backward class citizens.

2️⃣ Quantifiable data on backwardness for SCs and STs is not required since this contradicts the Indra Sawhney v. Union of India case.

3️⃣ Applying the creamy layer principle to SCs and STs doesn't interfere with the Presidential List under Articles 341 and 342 of the Indian Constitution.

🔍 In short, the Court held that the Nagaraj case doesn't need to be referred to a larger bench. However, the part of the judgment requiring states to collect quantifiable data on the backwardness of SCs and STs is invalid.

👩‍⚖️ This case is super important as it highlights the ongoing debate about reservation policies, public employment, and equality of opportunity in India. Let's keep our eyes on future developments in this area! ✊💼🏛️
