SHRI NARAYAN YESHWANT GORE vs UNION OF INDIA & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who served in the Census Department and was later appointed on an ad hoc basis in his parent department, was entitled to the same benefits as his juniors due to the precedent set in Narender Chadha & Ors. vs. Union of India & Ors. The Court clarified that the appellant's service in the Census Department did not disqualify him from being considered substantively appointed, as the decision in Narender Chadha applied to all similarly situated officers. The Tribunal's rejection of the appellant's petition was overturned, affirming his right to the benefits granted to others in similar circumstances.
