Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the amendment to the Delhi High Court Establishment (Appointment & Conditions of Service) Rules, 1972, which limited promotional avenues for Junior Translators to Senior Judicial Assistants, violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. The Court declared the amendment void and mandated that the previous promotional avenues for Junior Translators be restored. The outcome affirmed the rights of Junior Translators to fair promotional opportunities within the High Court establishment.
