Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed Writ Petition (c) No. 211/97 under Article 32, seeking mandamus for the implementation of prior judgments regarding seniority in the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The Court held that the past service of Emergency Commissioned Officers (ECOs) should be considered for seniority against direct recruits, affirming the need for adherence to the principles established in earlier cases, specifically Ravi Paul and R.C. Sahi. The Court directed the respondents to revise the seniority list in accordance with the law, thereby upholding the rights of the petitioners.
