State Of Rajasthan & Ors vs Shankar Lal Parmar

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of employees to 'Selection Grade' after specified years of service, specifically examining the implications of past censure on such entitlement. The Court clarified that the grant of Selection Grade is not automatic and is contingent upon the absence of disciplinary actions against the employee. The judgment emphasized the need for proper interpretation of prior rulings, particularly the case of Devi Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan, and held that the High Court's decisions were erroneous due to misinterpretation of the law. The appeals were decided in favor of the State, affirming that past censure affects eligibility for Selection Grade.
