U.O.I. vs DR. AKHILESH CHANDRA AGRAWAL

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals regarding the regularization of ad hoc Group 'B' Doctors under the Central Health Services Rules, 1963. The Court held that the appellants should be treated as regularized in Group 'A' from their respective dates of initial appointment, as per the directions issued in earlier judgments. The Court emphasized the need for separate seniority lists to ensure no disturbance to the seniority and promotional prospects of regularly recruited doctors, thereby upholding the principles of fair employment practices under Article 14 of the Constitution.
