Act-1997-Claim <strong>of</strong> 2% reserv<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong><br />
1556 post- can be done only by the st<strong>at</strong>e<br />

Question <strong>of</strong> reserv<strong>at</strong>ion not approved by<br />
full bench- no such direction can be<br />
issued-petition dismissed.<br />
Held: Para 3<br />
We have also gone through the Full<br />
Bench judgement <strong>of</strong> our <strong>High</strong> <strong>Court</strong><br />
reported in 2005 (4) ESC 2378 (All)<br />
Sarika Vs. St<strong>at</strong>e <strong>of</strong> U.P. and others where<br />
also it has been held th<strong>at</strong> the reserv<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
will be made, if required, for the judicial<br />
service by the St<strong>at</strong>e Government, then it<br />
should be made in consult<strong>at</strong>ion with the<br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>Court</strong>. Therefore, when such Full<br />
<strong>Court</strong> <strong>of</strong> this <strong>High</strong> <strong>Court</strong> did not approve<br />
any such proposal for reserv<strong>at</strong>ion, we<br />
are <strong>of</strong> view th<strong>at</strong> the prayer <strong>of</strong> the<br />
petitioner cannot be considered and as<br />
such writ petition is liable to be<br />
dismissed and is accordingly dismissed,<br />
however, without imposing any cost.<br />
Case law discussed<br />
2000 (IV) SCC 640, 2005 (4) ESC 2378 (All).<br />
(Delivered by Hon’ble Amitava Lala, J.)<br />
1. This writ petition has been made<br />
to obtain an appropri<strong>at</strong>e direction upon<br />
the Registrar General <strong>of</strong> this <strong>High</strong> <strong>Court</strong><br />
to keep 2% <strong>of</strong> the posts in direct<br />
recruitment to U.P.H.J.S.- 09 reserved for<br />
the candid<strong>at</strong>es <strong>of</strong> dependent <strong>of</strong> freedom<br />
fighters. The learned counsel has relied<br />
upon U.P. Public Services (Reserv<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>of</strong><br />
Physically Handicapped, Dependence <strong>of</strong><br />
Freedom Fighters and Ex-servicemen)<br />
(Amendment) Act 1997. He said th<strong>at</strong> by<br />
way <strong>of</strong> amendment in Section 3 (1) there<br />
shall be reserv<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>at</strong> the stage <strong>of</strong> direct<br />
recruitment in public services i.e. two per<br />
cent <strong>of</strong> vacancies for dependents <strong>of</strong><br />
freedom fighters and one per cent <strong>of</strong><br />
vacancies for ex-servicemen.<br />
2. However, we have considered the<br />
Constitution Bench judgement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Supreme <strong>Court</strong> reported in 2000 (IV)<br />
SCC 640 St<strong>at</strong>e <strong>of</strong> Bihar and another Vs.<br />
Bal Mukund Sah and others which<br />
speaks as follows:-<br />
"Any scheme <strong>of</strong> reserv<strong>at</strong>ion foisted<br />
on the <strong>High</strong> <strong>Court</strong> without consult<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
with it directly results in trunc<strong>at</strong>ing the<br />
<strong>High</strong> <strong>Court</strong>'s power <strong>of</strong> playing a vital role<br />
in the recruitment <strong>of</strong> eligible candid<strong>at</strong>es<br />
to fill up these vacancies and hence such<br />
appointments on reserved posts would<br />
remain totally ultra vires the scheme <strong>of</strong><br />
the Constitution enacted for th<strong>at</strong> purpose<br />
by the Founding F<strong>at</strong>hers."
