Ramesh P. Bhatnagar And Anr. vs State Of U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's judgment regarding the appellant's challenge to the constitutionality of several government orders affecting seniority and promotion in the cadre of assistant engineers. The Court noted that the appellant had superannuated in 1998 and thus declined to examine the constitutional issues raised, affirming the dismissal of the review petition. The Court also addressed the case of co-petitioner Shri J.P. Tyagi, emphasizing that his appointment did not comply with the requisite rules due to lack of consultation with the Public Service Commission, thereby affecting his seniority claim.
