INDIAN COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH vs A.N.LAHIRI

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision regarding the respondent's induction into the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The Court noted that the respondent failed to submit his bio-data by the stipulated deadline of 30th September 1980, as required under the rules for induction into ARS, thus disqualifying him from consideration. The Court affirmed that the induction process was a one-time operation and that the respondent's subsequent attempts to claim induction were not valid due to his earlier non-compliance with the procedural requirements.
