The Supreme Court Wednesday said its 2006 verdict putting benefits of quotas in job promotions for SC/ST employees need not be referred to seven-judge bench.
The apex court also turned down the Centre's plea that overall population of SC/ST be considered for granting quota for them.
The unanimous judgement was pronounced by a five-judge Constitution bench.
The court's verdict came on petitions seeking that a seven-judge bench reconsider the court's 2006 judgement which had put conditions for granting quota benefits in job promotions for SC/ST employees.
