1997 5 Supreme 37 : Yes, a single post can be reserved. The legal documents confirm that reservation applies to appointments in single post cadres, and the application of roster to single post cadres and appointment by promotion to carry forward posts is valid and constitutional. Furthermore, the documents state that clubbing of posts in various disciplines carrying the same scale of pay and grade is constitutionally permissible, which implies that individual posts, including single posts, can be reserved under the reservation policy. The reservation for Assistant Professor posts in various disciplines at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh, is upheld as valid under Articles 14 and 16(1) of the Constitution, confirming that single posts are subject to reservation.Checking relevance for State Of Punjab VS G.

2003 0 Supreme(SC) 34 : No, a single post cannot be reserved. The Constitution Bench judgment in Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research held that there cannot be any reservation in respect of an isolated post, thereby overruling the earlier judgment in Union of India v. Madhav, which had permitted reservation for isolated posts. This principle is now settled law, and reservation cannot be applied to an isolated post.Checking relevance for Priya Agrawal VS State of Chhattisgarh...
2022 0 Supreme(Chh) 60 : A single post cannot be reserved. The Supreme Court has held that in a single post cadre, reservation cannot be applied either directly or through rotation of a roster, as it would result in 100% reservation of the post, which is impermissible under the constitutional framework. This principle applies because there is no plurality of posts, and any attempt at reservation would exclude the general category candidates entirely, violating Article 16(1) of the Constitution. The post of President of District Commission in each district is considered a single isolated post and therefore not amenable to reservation under the Act of 1994.Checking relevance for Ankur Manna VS State Of West Bengal...
2022 0 Supreme(Cal) 1230 : The legal documents confirm that a single seat can be reserved for persons with benchmark disabilities under Section 32 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Although the reservation is horizontal (5% across all categories), it is applied proportionally, and even fractional allocations (e.g., 0.75 seats in Dermatology) indicate that the system allows for the reservation of a single seat when the total number of seats is low. The court acknowledged that due to the small number of seats in certain streams like Dermatology (15 seats), the reservation requirement (5%) results in less than one seat (0.75), which is not sufficient to reserve a full seat. However, the reservation mechanism itself permits the allocation of a single seat when the statutory threshold is met, even if the number of seats is extremely limited.
