Delhi High Court & Anr vs Atul Kumar Sharma

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to allow a supplementary examination for the post of Administrative Officer or Court Master, emphasizing that the respondent was entitled to pursue relief granted in a prior writ petition (C.W.P.No. 1218/89) without seeking a new cause of action. The Court clarified that the High Court's earlier ruling did not preclude the respondent from seeking necessary accommodations for adequate preparation time for the examination. The judgment reaffirmed the principle that procedural fairness must be maintained in administrative actions affecting promotions and examinations.
