However, as desired by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Contempt Petition No.314/2016, instructions in pursuance were issued by Department of Personnel and Training on 30.9.2016 not to rely upon Office Memorandum of 10.08.2010 for implementation of own merit concept in promotion for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Due to this, there may be administrative difficulties while considering cases for promotion of employees, including Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, where selections in promotion have already been made on own merit or are to be made by applying own merit by the concerned cadre controlling authority.
