ORDER:
In the G.O. read above, Comprehensive Guidelines
were issued for implementing the Rule of Reservation in Promotions. Para No.5
reads as follows:
"Crucial
date for determining the adequacy: 1st September shall be reckoned as crucial
date to determine the adequacy of representation in each category of posts for
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. While arriving at the number of
vacancies to be filled based on Rule of Reservation in promotions in respect of
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes categories, to achieve adequacy of representation,
the fraction shall be ignored".
2. Thus, it has been ordered to ignore the fraction while
arriving at the number of vacancies to be filled based on Rule of Reservation
in promotions.
3. Due to this condition - "ignoring of fraction" in
arriving at the adequacy for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, injustice
is being caused to SCs/STs while arriving at the adequacy. For example, if the
cadre strength of a post is 6 in a particular Department, 15% adequacy comes to
0.90. If fraction is to be ignored, as per the above guideline, the required
number of Scheduled Castes would be Zero and therefore, there would not be any
inadequacy.
4. Several representations have also been received to delete the
condition of "ignoring the fraction" in the aforesaid G.O. to arrive
at the adequacy.
5. The Government after careful examination of the matter hereby
decided to amend the Para 5 of G.O. Ms. No. 2, SW (ROR. l) Department, Dated:09-01-2004. Accordingly, the following amendment is issued to the G.O. read above.
6. The amendment hereby made shall come into force with effect
from the current panel year 2004-2005.
AMENDMENT
“the following
expression shall be substituted namely" the fraction of 0.5 or more shall
be rounded off to the next higher digit".
