Union Of India & Ors vs B.Annathurai & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal which quashed the minutes of the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) and directed the Union of India to review the promotion cases of the respondents under the Flexible Complementary Scheme (FCS). The Court emphasized that the DPC's minutes must be properly recorded and that the FCS, which prioritizes merit over seniority, is applicable to ISRO personnel. The appeals by the Union of India were dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's order for a merit-based review of promotions.
