Surendra Singh Beniwal vs Hukam Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the interpretation of Rule 61(2) of the U.P. Intermediate Education Act, 1921, clarifying that a teacher voluntarily transferring to another institution must be placed at the bottom of the seniority list as per clause (b). The Court emphasized that clause (c) pertains to matters other than seniority, such as pension benefits. The dismissal of the appellant's special appeal against the High Court's ruling was affirmed, reinforcing the established seniority rules for transferred teachers.
