Departmental Promotion Committee | Status Quo Orders Do Not Bar Unreserved Candidates from Promotion DPCs: MP HC Indore
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that interim status quo orders issued in reservation-related cases do not extend to unreserved category employees, mandating the state to convene a Departmental Promotion Committee for eligible unreserved candidates within 60 days. This clarifies a long-standing ambiguity in service law, ensuring merit-based promotions proceed without unnecessary delay for non-reserved employees.
