Reservation for citizens falling in backward classes has been permitted under the Article :
Answer: B
Reservation for backward classes is permitted under Article 16(4).
Article 16 guarantees equality of opportunity in public employment. Clause (4) makes an exception: it allows the State to make provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favour of any backward class of citizens which, in its opinion, is not adequately represented in the services. This is the basis of job reservation for backward classes.
Article 13(1) makes pre-Constitution laws void to the extent they conflict with fundamental rights. Article 19(2) allows reasonable restrictions on freedom of speech. Article 338 provides for the National Commission for Scheduled Castes. None of them permits reservation.
