In Brief
The appeal concerned the legality of promotions in 2151 Upper Division Clerk posts in the Central Secretariat Clerical Service in 2003. Appellants disputed whether cadre restructuring actually occurred and whether junior candidates improperly received ante-dated promotions. The Court disposed of the appeal without reversing the High Court's judgment, but directed the Competent Authority to examine specific instances where promotions may have violated service rules—such as promoting Lower Division Clerks to Assistant posts without requisite qualifications or service as Upper Division Clerks—within four months, affording affected parties a hearing."
