As a lecturer in the Haryana School Education Department, I’m a general category candidate hoping for a promotion to a gazetted Class II post. I’m concerned about the promotion process, especially regarding reservation benefits and seniority calculations.
Firstly, can the government offer reservation benefits for gazetted Class II posts despite rulings from the High Court and Supreme Court suggesting otherwise? Secondly, what is the primary factor for determining seniority in government employment – the date of joining the initial post or the date of the appointment offer?
I’m considering legal action for a fair and timely promotion. Could you advise me on the appropriate court to file my petition for immediate relief? Thank you.

While the High Court and Supreme Court have ruled against reservations for gazetted Class II posts, the Haryana government might still offer reservations under certain specific circumstances. Seniority in government employment is primarily determined by the date of joining the initial post, not the date of the appointment offer. For legal action, you should file a writ petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking immediate relief.
