MP's Decision and the What does Constitution say about preferring locals for Government Jobs
Greetings to everyone,
Recently MP's chief minister, announced he will prefer candidates of MP over any other state for Government Job.
There have been reservations in education, but in the field of employment Central government doesn't allows them to be implemented.
In Indian Constitution Article 16(2) states that "[In India] No Citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of origin, residence........state"
However in special cases, only Central government may give some states the power to recruit locals.
When union of India, came into existence in 1947, combining 562+(approx) smaller kingdoms. The Idea of state citizenship would have been counterproductive.
Though, constitution has concept of affirmative action to help the disadvantaged class.
In 1984, a famous case 'Pradeep Jain Vs. Union Of India' supreme court ruled out that 'a person can't be discriminated on the basis of his place of birth.'
Conclusion, maybe a person can challenge Mr. Shivraj's decision in the court, by that time, we can hold tight to the greatness of our constitution.
