Chandra Prakash Tiwari And Ors vs Shakuntala Shukla And Ors

The case involves a dispute regarding the promotion of police officers from Sub-Inspector to Inspector in Uttar Pradesh for the period between 1992 and 1996. The primary legal issue centers on whether the Selection Committee adhered to the prescribed criteria of 'seniority subject to the rejection of the unfit.' The Court scrutinized whether the selection process caused injustice to senior officers with unblemished records and whether separate lists for each year of vacancy were correctly prepared.
