The Rajasthan High Court today quashed two notifications issued by the state government for promotion of officers from SC and ST category from the state administrative service(RAS), on reservation basis, to Indian Administrative Service(IAS). The High Court division bench comprising Justices RS Rathore and NK Jain while accepting writ petitions filed by Bajrang Lal and 18 others against the notifications issued in 2002 and 2008, held that reservation could not be accorded in promotion to the officers from reserved categories.
The court also directed the state government to prepare afresh the general seniority list. As many as 19 petitions over the issue were pending before the court since 1993 and the verdict paved the way for promotion of officers from general unreserved class. As many as 56 RAS officers are due to be promoted to the IAS.
