https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460635 Fresh vacancies arising during a recruitment year cannot be reclassified as backlog vacancies reserved exclusively for reserved categories; backlog vacancies arise only when earlier reserved posts remain unfilled after recruitment. For lecturers in degree and postgraduate colleges, reservation under the 1994 Act must be applied subject-wise and college-wise because posts are not interchangeable across disciplines or institutions. A solitary post cannot be reserved, and reservation cannot be forced in very small cadres; the text states that three or fewer posts cannot carry reservation, while meaningful roster operation requires at least five posts. An advertisement that treats fresh vacancies as backlog vacancies is invalid to that extent and reservation must be re-determined on the proper unit basis. en-us Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:06:31 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=460635 Fresh vacancies arising during a recruitment year cannot be reclassified as backlog vacancies reserved exclusively for reserved categories; backlog vacancies arise only when earlier reserved posts remain unfilled after recruitment.
