UNION OF INDIA vs K.SAVITRI .

The Supreme Court held that under the Central Civil Services (Redeployment of Surplus Staff) Rules, 1990, surplus employees cannot count their past service for seniority or promotion in the redeployed organization. The Court found that the Tribunal erred in allowing the past services to be considered, as the Rules explicitly state that such past service is not to be counted. The appeals by the Union of India were allowed, overturning the Tribunal's decision.
