State Of Haryana & Ors vs Prem Singh & Ors. C

The Supreme Court held that the reservation policy for Scheduled Castes in promotions does not apply to Class I and Class II posts, as per the Government instructions dated February 9, 1979. The Court clarified that the appointment by transfer from a lower post to a higher post does not entitle the candidate to reservation benefits unless explicitly stated. The High Court's order granting reservation in the appointment of Tehsildar was set aside, affirming that the respondent's claim for appointment was not valid under the existing rules.
