New Delhi: In a historic move, the Supreme Court has, for the first time, implemented a formal reservation policy for direct appointments and promotions of its employees belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST).
The policy was announced through a circular issued on June 24 to all Supreme Court staff.
"As per the directions of the Competent Authority, it is to notify for the information of all concerned that the Model Reservation Roster and Register has been uploaded on the Supnet (internal email network), and it is made effective from June 23, 2025.
It is to inform further that in case of objections/representations raised by any staff member about mistakes or inaccuracies in the roster or register, they may inform about the same to the Registrar (Recruitment)," the circular said.
According to the model roster now in effect, SC employees are entitled to a 15 per cent quota and ST employees to a 7.5 per cent quota in promotions.
The reservation benefits will apply to a range of court positions, including registrars, senior personal assistants, assistant librarians, junior court assistants, and chamber attendants.
