I think, this reporting is a caricatured version of actual pronouncement of SC on the date... The SC was hearing plea for disobeying court's order for filling 15000 vacant posts. SC dismissed the plea saying that implementation is under way and accepted Center's reply that it will be completed by 31st March 2016... In this context, SC clarified that it had not instructed Center to fill all vacancies including on promotional basis, but had only instructed to fill vacancies lying unfilled on entrance level...
However by saying this, I must admit here that I never had strong belief that SC has given a clear verdict that government has to give promotional reservation on backlog basis, rather it had given its opinion read with PWD Act 1995 that "reservation" in job applies to to "promotion" as well... But with no explicit instruction to implement it within certain timeframe! Experts, please correct me, if there is something else in this judgement!
