SHRI ANAND CHANDRA DASH vs STATE OF ORISSA AND ORS.

The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the Orissa Administrative Tribunal's order dismissing the appellant's application regarding his seniority as a Senior Auditor in the Labour Department. The Court held that the appellant's past service in the Revenue Department should be considered for seniority, as he was unjustly transferred without his consent and his unwillingness was disregarded. The Court ultimately directed that the appellant be treated as a Senior Auditor in the Labour Department, thus upholding his claim for seniority based on his prior service.
