STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs SURENDRA MOHNOT

The Supreme Court ruled that the circular issued by the State of Rajasthan on 25.1.1992 regarding Selection Grades for employees is applicable to those who have completed the requisite service periods without prior promotions. The Court held that the service of the respondents should be counted from their first appointment in the existing cadre, as per the provisions of the circular. The judgment emphasized that the grant of Selection Grades is contingent upon satisfactory service records and does not affect the seniority of employees in their respective cadres.
