Surinder Shukla vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a writ petition challenging the rejection of a statutory complaint regarding promotion from Lt. Colonel to Colonel in the Army Education Corps. The Court emphasized that the assessment for promotion is based on a comprehensive evaluation of an officer's overall profile, including ACRs and comparative merit, as per Army Order 45/2001. The Court found no merit in the petitioner's claims of being unfairly superseded, affirming the decision of the Delhi High Court.
