SC has rejected the appeal of government from bombay HC decision which said 3% reservation means reservation in direct recruitment/promotion/deputation etc. SC has not categorically stated anything explicitly while rejecting the appeal, I am told. Have not got to read the appeal rejection judgment, though.
