AMAR DEO PRAKASH AND ORS. ETC. ETC. vs UNION OF INDIA AND ORS. ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petitions filed by Group 'C' employees of the Railways challenging the validity of circulars regarding inter se seniority for promotions to Group B posts. The Court held that the principle adopted for fixing seniority, based on the restructuring of cadres as per Railway Board Circulars dated July 29, 1983, and January 26, 1983, was not inequitable. The Court emphasized that the government is entitled to adopt different methods for promotion and that the petitioners could approach the Central Administrative Tribunal for further relief.
