Union Of India (Uoi) vs Kuldip Singh Permer And Ors.

The case concerns a dispute over the determination of seniority for an employee who joined a department on deputation and was subsequently absorbed. The respondent challenged the seniority list, arguing that seniority should be counted from the initial date of joining on deputation rather than from the date of formal absorption. The Court examines whether service rendered on deputation can be counted toward seniority upon absorption into a permanent cadre.
