ROHITASH KUMAR vs OM PRAKASH SHARMA .

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 in separate batches should not be accorded different seniority rankings. The judgment of the High Court, which favored the seniority claim of one officer over others, was found to be erroneous, leading to the dismissal of the appeals by the Union of India.
