Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of promotion criteria for Junior Engineers in the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) under the Recruitment Rules of CPWD. The Court held that the differentiation in service experience requirements between diploma-holders and degree-holders for promotion to Assistant Engineer and Executive Engineer posts was unconstitutional, violating Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court ruled in favor of the appellants, allowing their promotions based on their qualifications and experience without discrimination.
