The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court which quashed the order granting Raj Karan Singh seniority over Pardaman Singh in the cadre of Vaidyas. The Court emphasized that seniority should be determined based on merit as per the selection committee's recommendation, which placed Pardaman Singh higher than Raj Karan Singh. The Court concluded that the High Court's view was just and proper, thereby dismissing the appeal without interference.
