Ranchi: A special committee of the Jharkhand assembly, formed to review the promotion of SC/ST candidates in government services, has recommended stern steps in not just allowing promotions to eligible officials on merit, but also reversing promotions granted to people of general category. The panel has also suggested punitive action against officials of various departments, including that of personnel and administrative reforms, who allowed such promotions against norms.
The committee has also asked filing of a case against such officials under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. “In 2008, senior officials from the SC/ST category were ignored during promotions and junior officers from the unreserved category were promoted. This wrong practice started so there is an urgent need for an impartial inquiry in the matter and those found guilty must be booked under SC/ST atrocities (prevention) Act,” the committee said.
