9.4. Since in terms of the decision of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of M. Nagraj and Jarnail Singh, no such quantifiable data has yet been collected and the impugned clarification has been issued by Opp. Party No.3 contrary to the provisions contained under Rule-6 of the 1992 Rules as well as Art-154 and 162 of the Constitution of India, it is the view of this Court that the impugned clarification issued on 06.05.2024, directed to be followed in communication dated 27.02.2025 basing on the clarification issued by the Law Department on 27.02.2024, are not sustainable in the eye of law and stand quashed. Consequentially, any action taken basing on such clarification issued on 06.05.2024 and 27.02.2025 are also not sustainable in the eye of law and stand quashed. The decisions rendered by this Court in the case of Lalit Kumar Nayak as well as Litu Behera on the face of the provision contained under Art-16(4-A) of the Constitution of India and the decision in the case of M. Nagraj as well as Jarnail Singh as per the considered view of this Court are judgments per-incuriam. 

9.5. Therefore, this Court while quashing clarification dtd.06.05.2024 and communication dtd.27.02.2025 so issued by Opp. Party No.3 as well as consequential action taken thereof by various departments of the State, direct the concerned departments in the present batch of Writ Petitions to follow the provisions contained under Rule-3-A of the Amendment Rules, 2022 and so also the provision contained under Art16(4-A) of the Constitution of India read with the decision in the case of M. Nagraj and Jarnail Singh with regard to promotion of SC & ST candidates. 

10. With the aforesaid observation and direction, all the Writ Petitions stand disposed of accordingly.
