Overview

  • The roster allocates 15% of non-judicial posts to Scheduled Caste employees with a separate 7.5% share for Scheduled Tribe employees
  • Covered positions include registrars, senior personal assistants, assistant librarians, junior court assistants and chamber attendants
  • A Model Reservation Roster and Register was uploaded on the court’s internal network on June 23 and formalized through a circular the next day
  • Staff who spot errors in their classification may file objections directly with the Registrar (Recruitment) for rectification
  • Launched under Chief Justice B.R. Gavai, the move brings the court’s internal administration in line with its own affirmative action precedents
