State Of Karnataka & Ors vs K. Govindappa & Anr on 20 November, 2008

In the case of K. Govindappa (Supra), the Apex Court opined that while there can be no difference of opinion that the expressions “cadre”, “post” and “service” cannot be equated with each other, at the same time the submissions at single and isolated posts in respect of different disciplines cannot exist as a separate cadre cannot be accepted. In order to apply the rule of reservation within a cadre, there has to be plurality of posts. Since there is no scope of interchangeability of posts in the different disciplines, each single post in a particular discipline has to be treated as a single post for the purpose of reservation within the meaning of Article 16(4) of the Constitution. In the absence of duality of posts, if the rule of reservation is to be applied, it will offend the constitutional bar against 100% reservation as envisaged in Article 16(1) of the Constitution.
