V. The State of Uttarakhand & Ors. As under :- “16… In view of the law promulgated by the Court, there is no doubt that the Land Government is not obliged to make reservations.
There is no inherent fundamental right of a person to make reservations about promotions. No mandamus can be issued by the court, which orders the state government to make reservations. According to the judgments of this Court in the cases of Indra Sawhney, Ajit Singh (II), M. Nagaraj and Jarnail Singh (loc. cit.) O.) it is clear that Article 16(4) and Article 16(4)(A) constitute enabling provisions and that the collection of quantifiable data demonstrating the insufficient representation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the civil service is a sine qua non for the provision of reserves in promotional actions. The data to be collected by the State Government are intended only to justify a reservation with regard to appointment or promotion to public authorities in accordance with Article 16(4) and Article 16(4)(A) of the Constitution. Therefore, the collection of data on the inadequate representation of members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, as mentioned above, is a prerequisite for the provision of reservations and is not required if the State Government has decided not to make reservations. Since the State is not obliged to make reservations in promotions, it is not obliged to justify its decision on the basis of quantifiable data showing that members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are adequately represented in State services. Even if the under-representation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the civil service is brought to the attention of that court, no mandamus may be addressed by that court to the State Government to make a reservation in the light of the law established by that court in C.A. Rajendran (above) and Suresh Chand Gautam (above).
