C.S. BALAN vs CHIEF GENERAL MANAGER TELECOM

The Supreme Court held that the Central Administrative Tribunal failed to address the appellants' claim for promotion to the post of Junior Telecom Officer, despite available vacancies. The Court noted that the Tribunal only acknowledged the concession regarding seniority without considering the promotion claim. Consequently, the Court remitted the matter back to the Tribunal for a thorough examination of the promotion request, directing that it be resolved within four months.
