Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of seniority between general and reserved candidates in Haryana, affirming the legality of Circulars issued by the Haryana Government on 9.2.79 and 10.1.97, which state that reserved candidates would not count their seniority for promotions at roster points. The Court held that these Circulars correctly reflect the legal position established in Ajit Singh's case (1996 (2) SCC 715). The appeals by reserved candidates were dismissed, upholding the existing rules governing promotions and seniority.
