Reservation for SCs/STs in Judiciary

LCI Learning

Appointment of Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts is made under Articles 124 and 217 of the Constitution of India respectively, which do not provide for reservation for SCs/STs. 

In exercise of powers conferred under proviso to Article 309 read with Article 233 and 234 of the Constitution, the State Governments frame rules in consultation with the High Court for recruitment of persons to Subordinate judiciary. Therefore, the service conditions, including appointment, promotion, reservations etc of judicial officers of the District / Subordinate Courts are concern of the respective State Governments. 

This information was given by Dr. M.Veerappa Moily, Minister of Law and Justice in the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.

It is absolutely inevitable to provide for proportionate representations in every sphere e.g.,judiciary, politics, army/navy/air force, research or any other services. But it must not be by way of reservation merely on the basis of birth in a particular caste/community/religion,etc., The Governments of the day must be held liable and accountable to provide required quality education to, and upbringing of, the downtrodden/economically and historically backward communities, so as to equip them with necessary capabilities to successfully compete to occupy any position in any field.

India is a representative democracy and not meritocracy like Taiwan or sharia like Saudi Arabia. Govt must promote culturally diverse socioeconomic communities aka OC/BC/SC/ST/Minority/Women via reservations in public & private institutions.

The sad and bad part is that people who are lawyers are contributing in large Nos' for corruption, though being top level ministers.

The Government is at fault. Without proper education facility how we can expect educated from the SCs /STs. Always our Government make big big dialogues and make Indian citizens fools. By giving reservations and maintaining reservation for decades together, can any person come up by holding the word “ RESERVATION”. Instead of making Indians fools by the politicians, let the government provide proper and quality education facility to the SCs/STs. Let them growup with qualitative knowledge. Government is not providing any interest to create good infracture for their education, Govt is not showing any interest for real upliftment of this section, only trying to do magic by which we all are cheated. If the SCs/STs are provided a qualitative education, sure we can see gems. Government has to provide good education to them. Then only all seats can be filled.
