SAYYED FAKHRUL ISLAM vs MAHARASHTRA STATE ROAD TRANPT.CORPN.&ORS

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition challenging his reversion from the post of Depot Manager 'A' to Senior Foreman. The Court found that the appellant's promotion was temporary as per the General Establishment Order No.325(SB) of 1994, which explicitly stated that the promotion did not confer any right to seniority or continuity. The Court clarified that under Standing Order 32, the appellant was only entitled to continue in the temporary position until a suitable candidate for direct recruitment was available, which justified his reversion.
