M. Nagaraj vs. Union of India (2006)
•A five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court validated parliament’s decision to extend
reservations for SCs and STs to include promotions with three conditions:

•State has to collect quantifiable data showing inadequacy of representation of that class in public employment.
•State has to show how reservations in promotions would further administrative efficiency.
