<b>Quota not for indefinite period: SC </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In working out the carry forward rule two factors - unfilled vacancies and time limit - are now required to be kept in mind by the government without compromising on the 50 per cent ceiling limit of total reservation, the Bench said.
"The time-scale has to be imposed in the interest of efficiency in administration as mandated by Article 335," it added.
The court clarified that if the time scale was not applied, then the posts would continue to remain vacant for years, which would be detrimental to the administration.
So the Union and state governments, as the case may be, "will now have to introduce the time-cap depending upon fact and situation."
