The total number of shortfall vacancies to be notified through the Employment Exchanges, under the Directorate of Employment and Training are 734.
19. Mr.M.Loganathan, learned counsel for Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Chennai, submitted that out of 1848 (SC 1234 + SC 614) shortfall vacancies to be filled up through Special Recruitment Drive, 105 vacancies have already been notified by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Chennai. Balance shortfall vacancies in SC/ST, to be notified by the recruiting agencies, such as TNPSC, MRB, TRB, and to be filled up through Special Recruitment Drive, is 1936.
20. In the additional counter affidavit, Deputy Secretary, Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Chennai, has stated that, Government have been requested to sent the consolidated particulars, with regard to the name of the posts and services, and the number of vacancies in the respective posts, for which recruitment has to be made through Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission as required under Section 27(h) of the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016, in order to conduct Special Drive for SC/ST, at the earliest.
21. Section 27(h) of the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act 2016, reads thus:-
"(h) Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, in order to restore the representation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in a service, where their representation is less than eighteen per cent and one per cent, respectively, each department shall furnish such vacancies treating them as shortfall vacancies of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the lowest level of posts in each of the Groups A,B,C and D, besides the posts of Junior Assistants, Typist and Steno-Typist Grade III in the Tamil Nadu Ministerial Service and the Tamil Nadu Judicial Ministerial Service, to the Government and the Government, in turn, shall inform the same to the recruiting agencies for notifying the vacancies for direct recruitment as a one time measure:
Provided that reservation for Women, Differently abled person and Ex-servicemen shall not apply to the said recruitment."
22. On 05.10.2018, when the writ petition and contempt petition came up for hearing, Mr.M.Loganathan, learned counsel for Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Chennai, submitted that no sooner the Government furnishes the particulars, Commission would complete the recruitment process, within six months.
23. Now, the particulars of the shortfall SC/ST vacancies in various departments have been furnished by the Additional Chief Secretary to the Government, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department, Chennai, to be filled up by the agencies TNPSC/MRB/TRB and the Directorate of Employment and Training.
24. In W.P.No.25062 of 2012 dated 18.07.2014, this Court ordered as hereunder:-
"In view of the specific stand taken by respondents 14 and 2, we deem it fit to direct the High Level Committee constituted as per the Government Order dated 05.01.2012 to finalise the programme and arrive at the shortfall vacancies for scheduled casts and scheduled Tribes. Thereafter, the Committee will have to send the Report to the Government for issuing appropriate orders. The entire exercise will have to be done by the Committee as well as the respondents within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order."
Government order has been issued in the year 2016. But full particulars have been given only in the year 2018, after two years. There is already a direction, to fill up the post immediately. Posts have not been filled up and therefore, the petitioner has filed the contempt petition No.1773 of 2015.
25. In State of Uttar Pradesh and Others Vs.Sangam Nath Pandey and Others, reported in (2011) 2 SCC 105, the Hon'ble Supreme Court, observed thus:-
"38. The exercise of identifying the year-wise and cadre- wise vacancies ought to have been conducted by the State prior to the issuance of the advertisement as rightly noticed by the learned Single Judge. The purpose of introducing a roster system was to ensure that the percentages of reservation provided for various categories of persons is effectively and speedily achieved. This can only be done if the department concerned identifies the year-wise vacancies in the cadre. Once the vacancies are identified, it is enjoined upon the authorities to ensure that the selection procedure is completed speedily. This is necessary to avoid uncertainty to all categories of candidates.
39. The general category, as well as, the reserved category candidates are likely to be adversely affected in case the vacancies are not filled within a reasonable period of time. As a result of undue delay, certain candidates will always be in the danger of becoming overage to apply for some particular posts falling in a particular year of recruitment. Unnecessary lethargy in filling up the posts would also lead to further uncertainty and chaos among the recruits with regard to their seniority, confirmation and promotions. Such a situation only gives rise to unavoidable litigation, lasting for many long years. This case epitomizes such malaise.
40. In our opinion, the State Government, in the present case, ought to have initiated the necessary selection procedure upon due verification of the posts available for the reserved categories. It was not sufficient to merely send the requisition to the Public Service Commission. It was necessary for the State to pursue the matter with the Public Service Commission for completion of the selection process. Otherwise, the very purpose of introducing the roster system and a running account would be totally defeated.
44. In our opinion, the authorities have been rather casual in their approach in implementing the reservation policy, in letter and spirit. We are, however, conscious of the fact that the 367 posts lying vacant for a number of years are meant only for the reserved categories. They have been calculated on the basis of the percentages reserved for various categories. In segregation of the aforesaid posts, none of the unreserved categories would be deprived of any posts which ought legitimately to have fallen to their share."
26. Having regard to the statement made on 05.10.2018 that the entire recruitment process would be completed within six months, we direct the recruiting agencies, Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC), Medical Services Recruitment Board (MRB), Teachers Recruitment Board (TRB) and Commissioner, Directorate of Employment and Training, Chennai, to issue appropriate notification in the newspapers, calling for applications from eligible candidates, to fill up SC/ST shortfall vacancies within one month from today and complete the process as expeditiously as possible, by not later than six months, as assured by the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, Chennai.
27. Therefore, while issuing directions to fill up the SC/ST shortfall vacancies, through a Special Drive, it is made clear that there should not be any delay in implementing the direction issued in the instant W.P.No.2937 of 2018.
28. In view of the above, writ petition is allowed and contempt petition is closed. Consequently, the connected writ miscellaneous petition is also closed.
29. Post on 16.11.2018, for reporting compliance.
