casestatus.in Summary
A government notification restricting the zone of consideration for SC/ST candidates to five times the number of vacancies applies only to ad hoc promotions and not to regular substantive promotions governed by separate Office Memoranda; conflating the two regimes constitutes a jurisdictional error. As analysed on casestatus.in, a special drive to fill backlog reserved vacancies operates on an entirely distinct legal footing from routine DPC-based promotion, and directions applicable to one cannot be transposed onto the other.
