Supreme Court Refuses To Review Its Order On Quota In Job Promotions | Read

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the 2006 verdict giving quota benefits in job promotions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes need not be referred to a seven-judge constitution bench. The unanimous judgement was pronounced by a five-judge Constitution bench. The bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said states need not collect quantifiable data on backwardness for giving quota in job promotion to SC/ST employees.
