The SC has held that states are not bound to provide reservation in appointments and there is no-fundamental-right to claim-quota in promotions. "In view of the law laid down by this court, there is no-doubt that state-government is not bound to make reservations. There is no-fundamental-right which inheres in an individual to claim reservation in promotions," a bench-of-justices Nageswara Rao and Hemant Gupta said.
