T.R. KAPOOR & ORS. vs STATE OF HARYANA & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the compliance of its earlier order dated 17.12.86 regarding promotions in the Class II Engineering service. The Court reaffirmed that the amendment making an engineering degree a prerequisite for promotion was struck down, and thus, the petitioners were entitled to promotions from deemed dates or the dates their juniors were promoted. The Court held that the State's compliance with the promotion orders was insufficient and directed that the petitioners be granted promotions retroactively to ensure justice, particularly for those who retired during the delay.
