The Union argued that reservations in promotions for Persons with Disabilities shouldn't apply to promotions in all government services.

Bhushan J's Maratha judgment pushed the Union to collect contemporaneous data on caste in the country.

On September 21st 2021, a three judge bench, heard the Union’s petition seeking clarifications on the Siddaraju judgment.

DESK BRIEF: The Court has upheld the right to reservation in promotions for persons with disability.

The Supreme Court has held that persons with disabilities have a right to reservation in promotion under Article 16(4).

With the petition seeking orphans to be identified as a backward class, are we moving away from a caste centric definition of backwardness.

The jurisprudence around Article 16(4) governs reservations granted for promotions in public employment.
