U.O.I. vs MADHAV

The Supreme Court addressed the application of a 40-point roster for promotions to the post of Secretary in the National Savings Scheme Service, determining that such application does not violate Article 16(1) of the Constitution. The Court clarified that the principle of rotation for a single post vacancy is permissible and does not constitute 100% reservation, which would be unconstitutional. The appeal was allowed, overturning the Tribunal's decision that had set aside the promotion based on the precedent established in Dr. Chakradhar Pasvan vs. State of Bihar.
