Issues: Whether, on the reservation instructions applicable to the Service, respondent No. 3, a Mazhabi Sikh, was entitled to be placed against roster point 7 instead of roster point 9, and consequently rank senior to the appellant.
Analysis: The reservation instructions of 1975, as clarified in 1980, were held to form one integrated scheme applicable to appointments made after their operation in the Service. The clarification was treated as explanatory and therefore governing the earlier instruction. Under that scheme, roster point 1 was meant for Balmikis and Mazhabi Sikhs, roster point 5 for other Scheduled Castes, and the carried-forward vacancy arising from point 5 remained earmarked for the latter category. Since respondent No. 3 belonged to a Mazhabi Sikh category, he could not appropriate the vacancy at point 7, which was reserved for Scheduled Castes other than Balmikis and Mazhabi Sikhs. That vacancy had to go to Shri G.S. Samra, while respondent No. 3 could be appointed only against point 9.
Conclusion: Respondent No. 3 was not entitled to roster point 7 and was rightly placed below the appellant in seniority.
Ratio Decidendi: Clarificatory reservation instructions are to be read as part of the original scheme and applied to appointments made after their commencement, with roster points being filled according to the specific category for which each point is earmarked.
