Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's claim for promotion to the Senior Administrative Grade, emphasizing that the Minister's initial approval for inclusion did not confer an absolute right to promotion, especially after the Minister later concurred with the non-inclusion based on the Departmental Promotion Committee's recommendations. The Court noted that the appellant failed to challenge the Minister's subsequent order, which was pivotal in the decision-making process. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
