Sub: Supersession of S.C./S.T. candidates in promotion – Submission/ reporting of cases to Minister and other authorities – Recommendation of the Commissioner for Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes in the 25^th Annual Report for the year 1977-78.

1. While forwarding a copy each of Deptt. of Personnel & Trg. O.M. No.36012/3/75/Estt. (SCT), dated 06.10.1976 and 36013/6/80 Estt. (SCT), dated 28.01.1982 vide Board’s letter No. quoted above, the Railways/ Production Units, were advised to put up those cases where eligible S.C./S.T. candidates, though available, are not appointed/ selected against the reserved vacancies to the authorities mentioned therein.

2. A point has now been raised whether the cases where the S.C./S.Ts. candidates are superceded by the Jr. S.C./S.Ts. candidates only and the reserved quota is completely filled up, should be treated as the cases of supersession. It is clarified that such cases should not be treated as those of supersession. However, in cases where reserved quota has not been completely filled up in spite of availability of eligible SC/ST candidates or where a S.C./S.T. candidate is superseded in promotion by a general candidate even against unreserved vacancies, papers are required to be put up to authorities mentioned in Board’s letter dated 17.04.1982 referred to above.
