Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted Rule 13.7 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, regarding the promotion of constables to Head Constables, particularly in light of amendments made on 4.3.1982 and 6.2.1988. The Court held that the High Court's decision to recast the seniority list based on the amended rules was within its jurisdiction and did not violate principles of justice. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's order and the tribunal's findings regarding the promotion process.
