UNIVERSITY OF JAMMU vs T.S.KHAN .

The Supreme Court upheld the Jammu & Kashmir High Court's decision allowing the intra-court appeal of respondent No.1, which set aside the single Judge's dismissal of his Writ Petition. The Court found that the University had erred in denying respondent No.1's eligibility for the Assistant Registrar position based on his qualifications and seniority. The Court directed the University to grant seniority to respondent No.1 and pay him the corresponding salary from the date of appointment of the other respondents, establishing the principle that in-service employees meeting the eligibility criteria must be considered for promotion.
