Haryana Suspends SC Reservation in Group A, B Promotions Pending Court Verdict
The Haryana government has suspended reservation-based promotions for Scheduled Caste employees to Group A and B posts pending the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision on the state's appeal. The court had upheld a 20% reservation but directed exclusion of the 'creamy layer.' Until the verdict, reserved vacancies will remain unfilled, though SC employees eligible by seniority-cum-merit will continue to be promoted and counted towards the reservation quota. Normal promotions will fill other vacancies.
