Union Of India (Uoi) vs Ram Prasad Bansal

The Supreme Court held that the respondent's acceptance of appointment to the Indian Revenue Service was contingent upon joining the foundational course as per Rule 4(b) of the Civil Services Examination Rules. The Court found that the Central Administrative Tribunal's interpretation, which allowed the respondent to appear for another examination without resigning, was incorrect. Consequently, the Court set aside the tribunal's order, dismissing the respondent's application and affirming the necessity of compliance with the rules governing appointment.
