Reservation in Private Sector with Reference to Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020

In the recent past, many states have brought up laws which provide for reservation in employment to the local residents of those states. The government policies on the reservation have been undergoing changes with the continuous development of legislation and verdicts of the apex court. The scope has been widening with the passing years and it is not an anomaly to see reservations in not just the public but also the private sector. However, the constitutionality of such provisions can be challenged on different grounds in the Court. This paper seeks to discuss the reservation in the private sector by emphasizing a recently passed legislation in the state of Haryana.
