B.S. BAJWA vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning seniority and placement in the gradation list of B.S. Bajwa and B.D. Gupta, who contested their junior status despite being granted Short Service Commission earlier. The Court held that the delay in filing the writ petition was significant, as the grievances should have been raised much earlier, and thus dismissed the appeals. The judgment emphasized the importance of timely action in administrative matters, particularly regarding seniority disputes.
