Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the appellant's appointment as Deputy Director (Feed and Fodder) in the Haryana Veterinary Service Class I was valid, as he was selected by the Haryana Public Service Commission and appointed by the Governor. However, the Court upheld the State's position that the post was non-veterinary and ex-cadre, thus the appellant could not claim the same pay scale or seniority as other Class I officers. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the lower court's decision regarding the appellant's claims for pay and seniority.
