Rohitash Kumar & Ors vs Om Prakash Sharma & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of seniority among Assistant Commandants in the Border Security Force, specifically interpreting Rule 3 of the Border Security Force (Seniority, Promotion and Superannuation of Officers) Rules, 1978. The Court held that officers selected through a single advertisement and trained together should not be accorded different seniority based solely on their training batches. The appeals were allowed, overturning the High Court's decision that favored the promotion of one officer over others based on an erroneous interpretation of seniority rules.
