Virendra Kumar Singh vs U.P. State And Ors.

The High Court of Allahabad ruled that the appellant is entitled to promotion to Group-I w.e.f. 1975, as determined by the Civil Judge, since the State did not challenge this finding. The Additional District Judge's order granting promotion from 1972 was set aside due to lack of jurisdiction, but the Civil Judge's conclusion remained intact and unchallenged. The Court directed that the promotion be implemented within six months, affirming the Civil Judge's decision as final.
