Abstract
Articles 14 -18 provides about ‘Right to Equality’ under Part-III as one of the Fundamental Right. Now, question arises whether a candidate belonging to the Scheduled Caste or any other reserved category is entitled to be selected for selection for admissions and for public employment in the open competition or not. It is also well accepted that if such candidates belonging to reserved categories are entitled to be selected on the basis of their own merit, their selection cannot be counted against the quota reserved for the categories for vertical reservation that they belong. In the present research work, we are concerned with issue of admissions in different courses in educational institutions and the procedure to be followed in case of a Meritorious Reserved Candidate (MRC). We are also concerned with the same issue of MRC in public employment under the State. There are so many judicial decisions by the Supreme Court of India in this regard, such as; Indra Sawhney v. Union of India (1992, Union of India v. Ramesh Ram & Ors (2010), Samata Aandolan Samiti v. Union of India (2013), Vikas Sankhala v. Vikas Kumar Agarwal (2017), Tripurari Sharan and Anr. v. Ranjit Kumar Yadav (2018), Pradeep Singh Dehal v. State of Himachal Pradesh & Ors. (2019) and Saurav Yadav & Ors. v. State of Uttar Pradesh & Ors. (2020). Therefore, to meet out the requirements of the research work we have to discuss apprehensiveness of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar about repressive society, report of second Backward Classes Commission (Mandal Commission), Concept of Meritorious Reserved Candidate (MRC), Meritorious Reserved Candidate & Constitutional Provisions, MRC & certain Exceptions, some recent Judicial Interpretations on MRC and after that we have to conclude finally this research work.
