Bhupendra Nath Hazarika & Anr vs State Of Assam & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Gauhati High Court regarding the seniority of Assam Police Service recruits, affirming that the appointments made under the Assam Police Service Rules, 1966 were valid. The Court clarified that the recruits from the special batch were rightly considered senior to those from the regular batch due to the timing of their appointments. The Court dismissed the appeals challenging the High Court's order, thereby maintaining the status quo regarding seniority as determined by the Assam Administrative Tribunal.
