SOCIAL WELFARE (SW.RORI) DEPARTMENT
G.O.Ms. No. 76. Dt: 19-10-2004
Read the following:1. G.O.Ms. No. 2, SW (RORI) Department, dt. 9-1-2004.
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 as 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 Schedueled 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
"ignore 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 (RORI)Dept., dated. 9-1-2004. 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
In paragraph .5 of the G.O. Ms. No. 2, S.W. (RORI) dept. dated 9-1-2004 for the expresion "the fraction shall be ignored", the following expression shall be substitued namely;
