In Brief
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. appealed a decision regarding whether employees are entitled to reservation benefits in direct upgradation (upgradation simpliciter). The Supreme Court held that its prior judgment in the same matter—involving the same appellant—had already settled the issue against the availability of such reservation. The Court relied on that precedent and allowed the appeal, treating the question as res judicata or directly covered by binding prior precedent.
