https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=472375 State-service reservation, including promotion, may be confined to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes native to Bihar where a residence-based classification seeks adequate representation. The third proviso to Section 4(2), effective from 11 June 1996 in line with the prior executive policy, excludes non-Bihar residents and does not impair a vested promotion right for candidates ineligible under that policy. The measure regulates reservation entitlement in State public services rather than inter-State migration and falls within the State legislative field. Lack of consultation with the National Commission for Scheduled Castes does not invalidate it. Reversion of ineligible promotees is corrective, not punitive, so an Article 311(2) inquiry is unnecessary. en-us Wed, 04 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 09 Oct 2026 17:19:55 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=472375 State-service reservation, including promotion, may be confined to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes native to Bihar where a residence-based classification seeks adequate representation.
