UNION OF INDIA vs R.MEENATCHI

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the proviso to the Schedule of the Government of Pondicherry (Superintendent Grade-II) Recruitment Rules, 1991, specifically regarding whether the 15 years of continuous service should include all service or only that as Assistants or Senior Grade Stenographers. The Court found the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition to be inadequate due to lack of reasoning and remitted the matter for fresh consideration. The appeal was disposed of by setting aside the High Court's order.
