New Delhi, Mar 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the validity of Karnataka's 2018 reservation law, which granted reservation in promotion to employees belonging to SC and ST categories.
A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud holds that applications filed by a group of general category employees for applying 'post-based quota' and the principle of the creamy layer at entry-level in public employment are not maintainable.
The apex court had, in November last year, reserved its order on the applications filed by general category candidates in the matter.
In May last year, the top court had upheld the law allowing reservations in promotions for SC and ST candidates with consequential seniority.
