    Debate Summary

    Article 10, Draft Constitution, 1948

    (1) There shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters of employment under the State.

    (2) No citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth or any of them, be ineligible for any office under the State.

    • (3) Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from making any provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favour of any backward class of citizens who, in the opinion of the State

    (4) Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any law which provides that the incumbent of an office in connection with the affairs of any religious or denominational institution or any member of the governing body thereof shall be a person professing a particular religion or belonging to a particular denomination.

    Draft Article 10 (Article 16) was debated on 30th November 1948.

    It provided for equality of opportunity in all government employment.

    While some members wanted a residence criterion for employment in a state government, others didn’t want any such restrictions.

    Arguments in favour of the residence criteria claimed that only natives of a particular state could efficiently discharge their duties as officers of the state government. The responses to these arguments invoked the idea of common citizenship in the constitution which would be undermined by the residence criteria.

    The Assembly also discussed the use of the term ‘backward class’ in the Draft Article.

    While some preferred the term due to its generality and ability to encompass a wider range of communities, others argued that the generality of term introduced a sense of vagueness;

    specific terms like ‘Scheduled Caste’ were better.
