DEHRADUN: The one-man Justice Irshad Hussain commission has invited state government employees to file their views regarding the issue of reservation in promotion by April 10.
The Uttarakhand government had constituted the panel six months ago to ascertain the exact number of serving SC and ST employees, and to gauge their administrative capability and socio-economic status to explore the possibility of according them reservation in promotion.
A source said since the commission would complete its six-month tenure on Sunday, it wanted to look into suggestions against and in favor of reservation in promotion for SC and ST employees on the basis of these criteria before finalizing its recommendations.
A senior officer said the government had constituted the commission to review these factors on a Supreme Court directive that although there would not be reservation in promotion for SC and ST employees, the state government could constitute a commission to look into these factors if it wanted.
The state government constituted the commission under pressure from SC and ST employees who had held state-wide strikes against the apex court order turning down their plea for reservation in promotion.
