SH. SUKHDEV SINGH GILL vs STATE OF PUNJAB .

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab Government National Emergency (Concession) Rules, 1965, do not entitle the appellant, Sukhdev Singh Gill, to count his service in the General Reserve Engineering Force (G.R.E.F.) towards seniority in the Municipal Administration. The Court interpreted 'military service' under Rule 2, concluding that G.R.E.F. does not qualify as military service as defined, thus upholding the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition. The appeal was consequently dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
