In Brief
This appeal concerned the validity of promotions of 2151 posts in the Upper Division Clerk cadre within the Central Secretariat Service. Appellants challenged promotions granted to junior candidates, contending that cadre restructuring leading to those vacancies never occurred and that they, having qualified in the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination quota from 2004, could not be overlooked. The Court disposed of the appeal, directing the Competent Authority to examine any alleged instances where promotions were granted without the required qualifications or experience under applicable Rules, grant affected parties a hearing, and rectify violations within four months, without otherwise interfering with the High Court's judgment."
