HAGE GUMTO vs NINYA BAGRA .

The Supreme Court ruled that the Arunachal Pradesh Power Engineering Service Rules, 1993, govern promotions for Assistant Engineers, superseding the earlier 1983 Rules. The Court held that Ninya Bagra, who completed 8 years of service as a Junior Engineer on 11th August 2000, was entitled to promotion only from that date, not retrospectively from 1997 as claimed. The Court allowed the appeals, affirming the applicability of the 1993 Rules and the promotion timeline established therein.
