STATE OF U P vs DINA NATH SHUKLA

The Supreme Court examined the Uttar Pradesh Public Services (Reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes) Act, 1994, particularly Sections 2(c)(iv) and 3(5), regarding the application of reservation rules for university faculty positions. The Court held that the clarification issued by the Government to treat the entire University/College as a unit for recruitment was consistent with the Act, thereby allowing for the application of reservation rules for Dalits, Tribes, and OBCs. The appeal against the Allahabad High Court's decision was allowed, affirming the Government's stance on reservation in recruitment.
