P.U. Joshi & Ors., Union Of India & Ors vs The Accountant General, Ahmedabad, & ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Central Administrative Tribunal regarding the restructuring of the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, emphasizing that the bifurcation of the Accountant General's office and the abolition of the 'Selection Grade' were valid under the relevant administrative rules. The Court clarified that the appellants, who opted to remain in the A & E Office post-restructuring, could not claim any rights to promotions or positions in the Audit Office, as the restructuring was in accordance with the recommendations of the Fourth Central Pay Commission. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's orders dated 10.8.1994 and 12.10.1994.
