STATE OF PUNJAB vs ARUN KUMAR AGGARWAL .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether diploma-holder Junior Engineers had an indefeasible right to promotion to the post of SDO based on a temporary current duty charge granted under Rule 5 of the 1941 Rules. The Court held that the current duty charge was temporary and could be withdrawn without notice, thus no indefeasible right was accrued. The Court upheld the withdrawal of the current duty charge by the government, affirming the applicability of the 2004 Rules for promotions over the 1941 Rules.
