Suraj Bhan Meena & Anr vs State Of Rajasthan & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the challenge to the Notification dated 25th April 2008, amending the Rajasthan Various Service Rules under the proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the amendments were invalid as they were subject to the outcome of a pending writ petition, thus violating the principle of finality in administrative decisions. The Court ruled in favor of the petitioners, reinstating their seniority as per the earlier lists and quashing the impugned notification.
