Union Public Service Commission & Anr vs A.K.Salim & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Kerala High Court affirming the Central Administrative Tribunal's directive to the UPSC to convene a Selection Committee meeting for considering Mr. A.K. Salim's promotion to the Indian Forest Service, as per the Indian Forest Services (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1966. The Court noted that despite Mr. Salim's eligibility based on his service record, the Selection Committee had not considered the vacancy for 2006 due to lack of proposals from the State Government. The Court emphasized the necessity of compliance with the Tribunal's order to ensure fair consideration of promotions.
