RANA PRATAP SINGH vs STATE OF U.P. & ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal arising from the Allahabad High Court's dismissal of writ petitions concerning the absorption of officiating Sub-Inspectors into supernumerary posts. The Court directed the Government to consider the cases of those who had completed three years of service for absorption in light of its earlier judgment dated April 19, 1985. The Court upheld the reversion of those who had not completed the requisite service period, emphasizing the need for the Government to act in accordance with the rules for temporary promotion and confirmation.
