PRATAP SINGH vs REGISTRAR, I.G.I.T.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the appellant's writ petition seeking mandamus for service conditions and seniority recognition. The Court found that the High Court did not adequately address the appellant's claim regarding his seniority based on his service as a cashier since 1.5.1989. The Court emphasized that the posts of cashier and senior assistant are interchangeable and should be considered for seniority determination, thus allowing the appeal and remanding the matter for reconsideration.
