State Of Uttar Pradesh & Anr vs Dr.K.U.Ansari & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to quash adverse character roll entries for Dr. K.U. Ansari for the years 1979-80 and 1980-81, allowing him to cross the Efficiency Bar from 1.7.1982 instead of 1984. The Court directed the Departmental Promotion Committee to consider Dr. Ansari's claim for promotion as Reader in Pharmacology with retrospective effect from 7.7.1987, emphasizing that the adverse entries were the sole reason for the denial of his promotion. The judgment reinforced the principle that unjust adverse entries in character rolls can affect career progression and must be rectified to ensure fairness in administrative actions.
