JASWANT SINGH LAMBA vs HARYANA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of seniority and appointment in the context of service law, specifically regarding the appointments of Sectional Officers at Haryana Agricultural University. The Court held that the High Court's decision to grant seniority from the date of initial ad hoc appointments was justified, as the respondents had been continuously working without interruption. The Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order, affirming the principle that seniority should reflect the actual service rendered, as per the recruitment rules.
