S A SIDDIQUI vs M WAJID KHAN

The Supreme Court held that the seniority dispute between Professors S.A. Siddiqui and M.Wajid Khan at Aligarh Muslim University hinges on the interpretation of the Merit Promotion Scheme. The Court ruled that both professors, despite differing promotion paths, should be considered equally for seniority and promotions, as they were both appointed as Professors. The Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's directive for separate seniority lists, affirming that the appellant's seniority should be maintained as per the established list since 1992.
