SUSHMA MUTREJA vs U O I

The Supreme Court held that the promotion of Lower Division Clerks to Upper Division Clerks under the Zoning Scheme must adhere to the provisions of the Central Secretariat Clerical Service Rules, 1962, particularly Rule 11 regarding the preparation of select lists. The Court found that the erroneous seniority list prepared in 1987 was rectified in 1989, establishing the appellant's rightful seniority over respondents 3 to 30. The Court upheld the revised seniority list, affirming the appellant's promotion and rejecting the claims of the respondents based on incorrect data.
