EX. CAPT. R.S. DHULL vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the appellant's promotion and the expunction of adverse remarks from his Annual Confidential Reports. The Court emphasized that the Selection Committee's decision to exclude the appellant's name for H.C.S. (Executive Branch) was based on a comparative assessment of records, which did not violate any statutory provisions under Rule 7 of the Punjab Civil Service (Executive Branch) Rules, 1930. The Court dismissed the appellant's petition, affirming that the selection process was valid and the appellant was not entitled to promotion based solely on expunged remarks.
