Bihar State Subordinate Industries ... vs Kapildeo Prasad Singh And Ors. Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Bihar Industries Service Rules, 1987, specifically regarding the promotion of non-gazetted employees to gazetted posts. The Court held that the inclusion of non-gazetted categories in the promotional channel was ultra vires, affirming the Patna High Court's decision which struck down the relevant rule. The Court emphasized the need for clarity in promotion channels and upheld the rights of the Statistics Employees, ensuring they were not adversely affected by the earlier judgments.
