Bar Council of India Removes 107 Fake Advocates from  Delhi Roll to Uphold Legal Integrity The Bar Council of India (BCI) has taken decisive action in a sweeping initiative aimed at maintaining the integrity of the legal profession by removing 107 fake advocates  from the Roll of Advocates in Delhi  between 2019 and October 2024. This step comes as part of the BCI's rigorous verification process to ensure that only qualified, genuinely practising advocates remain in the profession, ultimately upholding public trust in the legal system. Strengthened Verification Framework Under Rule 32 This effort falls under Rule 32 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 . The BCI  amended Rule 32 on June 23, 2023 , which empowered the BCI to verify, identify, and systematically remove unqualified and fake advocates from the Roll. The rule amendment has made the process of weeding out non-compliant individuals significantly more efficient. Accordi

Haryana Cabinet Approves Subclassification of Scheduled Castes for Fairer Reservation

Haryana Cabinet Approves Subclassification of 

Scheduled Castes for Fairer Reservation


In a significant move, the Haryana Cabinet, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has approved the subclassification of Scheduled Castes (SC) within the state's reservation system. This decision aligns with the Supreme Court’s August 2024 judgment, which allows state governments to create subcategories within the broader Scheduled Caste classification. This change aims to address disparities in representation across various SC groups in government services.


Promoting Equality and Opportunity through Subclassification


The Haryana Scheduled Castes Commission conducted a thorough study to assess the representation of different SC communities within government services. The study found significant inequalities between the Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC) and the Other Scheduled Castes (OSC) in public employment. 


According to the commission's findings:

- Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC) were underrepresented in Groups A, B, and C government services.

- Conversely, in Group D services, the representation was skewed heavily towards the Deprived Scheduled Castes, while the Other Scheduled Castes had higher representation in the upper groups.


Cabinet’s Approval of Subclassification


The Haryana Cabinet has endorsed the recommendations of the commission, which calls for a reservation subclassification to ensure fairer opportunities for all SC communities. Under this system:

- The Scheduled Castes in Haryana will be divided into two subcategories: Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC) and Other Scheduled Castes (OSC).

  - The DSC group includes castes like Balmiki, Chura, Bhangi, Dhanak, and others.

  - The OSC group includes castes such as Chamar, Ravidasi, Jatav, Mochi, etc.

  

The reservation of 20% for Scheduled Castes in government services will be split evenly between these two groups. Thus:

- 10% of the quota** will be reserved for the **Deprived Scheduled Castes (DSC).

- 10% of the quota** will be reserved for the **Other Scheduled Castes (OSC).


However, if suitable candidates from one subcategory are not available, candidates from the other subcategory may be considered to fill vacant posts.


Merit-Based Appointments and No Separate Roster Points


A crucial aspect of the decision is that inter-seniority of candidates from the two subcategories will be determined by a common merit list prepared by the recruiting agency. This list will ensure that merit remains the primary criterion for appointments, regardless of subclassification.


There will be no need to create separate roster points for each block within the current roster system. The state's Scheduled Caste list will be regularly updated in line with Central Government notification to reflect any changes.


Addressing Disparities and Ensuring Fair Representation


This decision is aimed at rectifying the unequal representation of various SC communities within Haryana's government services. By subclassifying the Scheduled Castes into Deprived and Other groups, the state hopes to ensure that adequate representation is maintained for all sections of society. 


This move is expected to foster a more equitable distribution of opportunities across different SC groups, thereby promoting a fairer employment system. It also aligns with the Supreme Court's judgment, which supports the creation of subcategories within the SC classification to ensure that reservation benefits reach the most disadvantaged groups.


The Haryana government's approval of subclassification represents a major step forward in addressing long-standing disparities within the SC category, promoting both equality of opportunity and social justice.


Conclusion: A Major Step Towards Equality


The Haryana Cabinet's decision to implement the subclassification of SCs is a transformative move aimed at creating a fairer system of reservation in government services. By ensuring that both the Deprived Scheduled Castes and the Other Scheduled Castes receive equal opportunities in public employment, the state is taking a bold step towards equal representation for all.


This decision is not only a reflection of legal precedents but also a reflection of the government’s commitment to ensuring social justice and equality for all communities within the Scheduled Castes.
