There is a total confusion in implementation of interim orders / directions of Apex Court in Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.30621/2011 arising out of final judgment and order dated 15-07-2011 in CWP No.13218/2009 passed by the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana and Special Leave to Appeal (C) No.31288/2017 arising out of Hon'ble Delhi High Court judgment dated 23-08-2017 and other related court cases. While one section has stated that direction has been given to effect reservation in promotion prospectively ( in other words in case of any DPC to be held on or after the issue of OM, the post based roster is to be maintained for reservation in promotion) till the final decision of Apex Court on the subject issue. Whereas another section has stated to review all such DPCs held on or after 15.07.2011 to grant notional promotion to reserved category. The CBIC has meanwhile referred the issue to Law Ministry/ DOPT for opinion about the posts not filled up due to High Court decision for not to make provision of promotions to reserved category since 2014.
