Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the promotion policies for Naval Officers, specifically regarding the stipulation that Commanders (Time Scale) could only be promoted to Captain (Time Scale) after all acting Commanders (Select List) had been promoted. The Court held that this policy was valid and did not violate the Presidential Order, emphasizing the importance of maintaining inter-se seniority among officers as per Navy regulations. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the decision of the Bombay High Court.
