N.K. Chauhan & Ors vs State Of Gujarat & Ors on 1 November, 1976
In our opinion, in view of the admission before us by all parties that
there is no express rota rule, the decision of the High Court that 'rota'
principle applied cannot be upheld. As held in N.K. Chauhan v. State of
Gujarat, [1977] 1 SCC 308, by Krishna Iyer, J. there is no question of a
quota being necessarily 'inter-locked' with rota. It is not necessarily
inscribed within every quota rule.
