HARKANT HIRALAL VOHRA (DEAD) BY L.RS. vs UNION OF INDIA & ANR.

The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant was entitled to four advance increments as per the Railway Board's Letter dated 9.8.61, which applies to Clerks promoted before 1.5.61. The Court held that the Central Administrative Tribunal erred in dismissing the appellant's claim by not considering relevant provisions of the Indian Railway Establishment Manual, specifically Paragraph 644. Consequently, the Court set aside the Tribunal's order and directed the grant of the increments as per the applicable rules.
