SC’S interim order on reservation in promotion

NEW DELHI: The vacation bench of the Supreme Court, in an interim order on last week, clarified that the government can go ahead with the reservation in job promotions. The decision came after the apex court took into account the Centre’s submission that the process of promotion has been stalled following orders passed by various high courts. The order was welcome by the government, which pointed out that it offered relief to hundreds of employees, both in the general as well as the reserved categories, who have been waiting for promotions for nearly two years.
