Shamsher Singh Sandhu vs Union of India and Others

Bench: 2 — Sanjay Kumar, Alok Aradhe

In Brief

Shamsher Singh Sandhu sought promotion to Additional DGP rank and direction for retiral dues to be calculated on that basis. The Supreme Court reviewed a Medical Board report prepared under High Court directions but declined to grant promotion to the higher rank. Instead, the Court disposed of the appeal with directions that retiral dues be computed and released within two months based on the rank from which the appellant actually retired, without accepting his promotion claim."
