Purnendu Mukhopadhyay And Others vs V.K. Kapoor And Another

The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision directing the authorities to refix the notional seniority and pay scale of the appellants, who were denied the opportunity to sit for the examination for Chargeman Grade-II due to discriminatory practices. The Court emphasized that the appellants were entitled to the benefits of the amended Scheme dated 4th May, 1967, which allowed for a second chance in the examination. However, the Court clarified that the appellants would not be entitled to back wages or financial benefits beyond notional seniority.
