H.C.KULWANT SINGH vs HC DAYA RAM .

The Supreme Court interpreted Rule 13.7 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, concerning 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 valid and did not exceed its jurisdiction. The Court affirmed the principle that confirmed constables do not have an absolute right to be considered under the pre-amended rules, thus upholding the High Court's order.
