Express News Service BHUBANESWAR: As litigations over faulty implementation of reservation have marred recruitment to various State civil services posts, the General Administration department has issued a circular to all departments to strictly follow the quota principles while making the appointments. The principles laid down by the GA department are based on the July 18, 2007 ruling of the Supreme Court in Rajesh Kumar Daria vs Rajasthan Public Service Commission. What is surprising is that it took more than 13 years for the State government to come out with a circular for implementation of the apex court ruling. This is not the only instance of government inertia in the implementation of Supreme Court orders on contentious issues of vertical and horizontal reservations and reservation in promotion leading to court cases.
