SHAM SUNDER vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the Railway Board's decision to amend the panel for reservation supervisors, stating that the General Manager acted within his authority under the Railway Board's general direction. The Court found that the anticipated vacancies were not guaranteed and that the retention of the first 24 persons in the panel did not violate Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution, as all retained were senior to the petitioner. The petition challenging the amendment was dismissed, affirming that the decision was not perverse and did not infringe upon the petitioner's fundamental rights.
