Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of seniority lists in the Rajasthan Police Service and Rajasthan Administrative Service, affirming the High Court's reliance on Ajit Singh Januja Vs. State of Punjab (1996) and State of Rajasthan Vs. Fateh Singh Soni (1996). The Court held that promotions exceeding the 28% quota were invalid and that reserved candidates' seniority should not be counted from the date of promotion. The appeals by general candidates were dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision regarding roster points for promotions.
