Major Aroon Kumar Sinha vs The Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appellant's challenge to his ACRs and promotion denial was unfounded, as the ACRs for 1989-90 were not adverse and did not violate any law or rule. The Court emphasized that promotion decisions in the Armed Forces are based on a comprehensive evaluation of individual profiles and batch merit, not solely on ACRs. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling that the appellant was not entitled to promotion based on his claims regarding ACRs.
