New Delhi : A person availing reservation in state jobs on grounds of being a “backward” cannot claim the same privilege in the Centre unless declared so by the Union government as well, the Central Administrative Tribunal has ruled.
The tribunal passed the order on a petition by four members of the Jat community, recognised as Other Backward Class (OBC) in state of Delhi and seeking quota benefits for appointment as lower division clerks (LDCs) in the Employees State Insurance Corporation Limited, a Central government firm.
They reported for duty after clearing the selection process, but were not allowed to join on the ground that they did not figure as OBC in the Central government list and were not entitled to quota benefits.
