C.L. No. 24/Ve-4 dated 5th February, 1973
Instructions contained in G.O. No. 37/l/69-Niyukti (Kha) Vibhag, dated January 1,
1970 regarding reservation for class IV employees for promotion to the lowest post in
class III should be followed.
C.L. No. 17/Ve-4-Admn. (D) dated 28th January, 1977
G.O. NO. 37/1/69, dated 1.1.1970 provided ten percent reservation for promotion to
class III services to such class IV employees who had passed High School, were
permanent and below 45 years of age.
G.O. No.37/1/1969-2, dated August 21, 1976, has partially modified the aforesaid
G.O. of 1970 to the effect that henceforth those class IV employees who have put in five
years continuous services-whether permanent or temporary - shall be eligible for
promotion. Other conditions, however, remain the same.
The District Judges should keep in view these instructions while making promotion
of class IV employees to class III service.

The court has considered the question of reservation at the stage of promotion for
the members of Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes and Backward classes working in

stage of promotion.
C.L. No. 40/Ve-94/ Admn. (D) sec : Dated 2nd September, 1997
Regarding reservation of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Backward classes
at the stage of promotion
In continuation of this court‟s C.L. No. 67/Ve-94/ (D) dated 28.9.94 and 55/Ve94 Admn. (D) dated 25.9.93, I am directed to say that the Court has reiterated the view
that U.P. Subordinate Civil Courts Ministerial Establishment Rules 1947 and U.P.
Subordinate Courts Inferior Establishment Rules 1955 do not provide for reservation at
the stage of promotion to any class including SC/ST and Backward Candidates.
Reservation benefit at the stage of promotion is not available to employees belonging to
SC/ST and Backward.
The above decision of the Courts communicated for compliance.
