It reiterated a previous judgment from 1998 that if a single post cadre was reserved in favour of backward classes, it would result in the total exclusion of general members of the public, something that was impermissible under the Constitution. In the instant case, the singular post could not be reserved and would be filled by promotion from the feeder cadre.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh v.
