UNION OF INDIA vs ARUN ROYE

Bench: 2 — L. Nageswara Rao, M.R. Shah

In Brief

Major General Arun Roye challenged his non-selection for promotion to Lieutenant General following irregular changes to confidential report assessment methods and denial of mandatory National Defence College nomination opportunities. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's finding that his service profile was tainted by unauthorized assessments and procedural violations. The Court directed reassessment by the Special Selection Board and set aside observations by the Division Bench that sought additional issues beyond those decided by the Single Judge. The appeals were dismissed, upholding the High Court's mandate for fair reconsideration.",
