How can the State make provisions for reservation in favor of a particular class or caste?
The State can make provisions for reservation in favor of a particular class or caste by making any provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favor of any backward class of citizens which, in the opinion of the State, is not adequately represented in the services under the State. Additionally, the State may also consider unfilled vacancies reserved for being filled up in a particular year as a separate class of vacancies to be filled up in any succeeding year or years and such class of vacancies shall not be considered together with the vacancies of the year in which they are being filled up for determining the ceiling of fifty per cent. reservation on total number of vacancies of that year.
