Om Prakash Shrivastava vs State Of M.P. & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) and the Madhya Pradesh High Court regarding the seniority dispute between the appellant and Ram Rao Bhosley. The Court affirmed that seniority is determined based on the date of passing the departmental examination, as established in M.P. Chandoria v. State of M.P. and State of M.P. v. Ramkinkar Gupta, which clarify that confirmation occurs only after passing the examination post-probation. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings on seniority placement under the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services (General Conditions of Service) Rules, 1963.
