Amrik Singh vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the non-promotion of the appellant to the rank of Lt. Colonel, stating that the High Court correctly refrained from interfering in the selection process under writ jurisdiction as it would amount to a review of the Selection Committee's decision. The Court noted that the appellant's ACRs for the relevant years, particularly 1985-86, contained adverse remarks which influenced the promotion decision. The Court affirmed that the assessment process involving Investigating, Reviewing, and Senior Reviewing Officers was valid and that the appellant's subsequent promotion did not retroactively alter the earlier assessments.
