Ch. Narayana Rao vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of seniority concerning the ad-hoc service of the Appellant, who was appointed as a Stenographer in 1981 and regularized in 1992. The Court held that the Appellant's ad-hoc service could not be counted for seniority purposes due to the temporary nature of his appointment, as stipulated in the appointment letter. The Court affirmed the decisions of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the High Court, thereby dismissing the appeal.
