LUXMI DEVI vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, who consistently outperformed the 6th respondent in various promotions and training courses, was wrongfully reverted to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector after her deputation. The Court found this action to be illegal and arbitrary, directing the state to maintain the appellant's seniority over the 6th respondent based on her superior performance. The appeal was allowed, restoring the appellant's position without costs.
