(2) THIS miscellaneous petition is a consequence of a misunderstanding of our judgment dated 1/03/1985 by the authorities. We wish to clarify the position by staling that the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes officers who are senior enough to be within the zone of consideration for promotion should be included in the Select List against the vacancies available to the members of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes according to the roster, provided they are not considered unfit for promotion. Paragraph 2 of the Presidential Directive should be strictly adhered to and effect shall be given on the basis of scales of pay that obtained prior to 1975 as mentioned in that paragraph. The officers promoted as a consequence of our order will be entitled to be paid salary and allowances frorm the respective dates with effect from which they should have beea promoted. We are grateful to Shri G. Ramaswamy, learned Additional Solicitor General for his assistance.
