CH. NARAYANA RAO vs UNION OF INDIA .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of seniority for ad-hoc service under the Central Administrative Tribunal's order, which rejected the Appellant's claim for seniority from 1981 until regularization in 1992. The Court held that the Appellant's appointment was ad-hoc and temporary, as per the appointment letter, and thus he could not be treated as a Regular Stenographer from 1981. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that upheld the Tribunal's ruling.
