T.Aruna & Ors vs The Secretary, Andhra Pradesh Public ...

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's decision regarding the promotion criteria for Senior Assistants from the feeder categories of Junior Assistants and Typists. The Court ruled that promotions should be based on length of service rather than a fixed ratio, as there were no supporting rules for the previous policy. The Court directed the APPSC to review promotions made between 1980 and 1992 in accordance with the Tribunal's guidelines, ensuring compliance with established rules and allowing for employee representations.
