The Chhattisgarh Lok Seva (ST, SC and OBC) Reservation Act, 1994
The Madhya Pradesh Lok Seva (Anusuchit Jatiyon, Anusuchit Jan Jatiyon Aur Anya Pichhade Vargon Ke Liye Arakshan) Adhiniyam, 1994 mandates job reservations in public services across Madhya Pradesh for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. It applies to state government offices, local bodies, statutory authorities, and government-dependent entities, excluding high-level scientific roles and temporary positions under forty-five days. To enforce compliance, the law imposes penalties and potential imprisonment on non-compliant appointing authorities, permits record reviews, makes improper appointments voidable, and requires regular reporting and standing monitoring committees. This legislation matters because it secures fair employment representation and social upliftment for historically disadvantaged communities.
