Khemraj Tejaji Desai vs Gujarat Industrial Development ... on 16 December, 2022
We have referred to
the said authority in Census Commr. case
[Census Commr. v. R. Krishnamurthy,
(2015) 2 SCC 796 : (2015) 1 SCC (L&S)
589] as the Court has clearly held that it
neither legislates nor does it issue a
mandamus to legislate. The relief in the
present case, when appositely
appreciated, tantamounts to a prayer for
issue of a mandamus to take a step
towards framing of a rule or a regulation
for the purpose of reservation for the
Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled
Tribes in matter of promotions. In our
considered opinion, a writ of mandamus of
such a nature cannot be issued."
