STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs SHANKAR LAL PARMAR

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of employees to Selection Grade after completing 9, 18, and 27 years of service, despite past censure. The Court clarified that the previous judgments misinterpreted the criteria for granting Selection Grades as outlined in the Office Order dated 25.01.1992. The Court held that entitlement to Selection Grade is not automatic and must consider the employee's disciplinary record, thereby overruling the erroneous applications of the law by the High Court.
