Union Of India And Anr vs S.S. Gill

The Supreme Court interpreted Rule 8(b) of the Central Reserve Police Force Rules, 1955, determining that Short Service Commissioned Officers (SSCOs) are not entitled to count their past Army service for seniority in the CRPF. The Court upheld the Delhi High Court's ruling against the SSCOs' claim, distinguishing it from previous cases, including P.G. Shetty and R.C. Sahi, which did not support the SSCOs' position. The Court concluded that the seniority list prepared by the Union of India was lawful and in accordance with established legal principles.
