M.P.SINGH BARGOTI vs STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

The Supreme Court held that the appellant, M.P. Singh Bargoti, was unjustly denied promotion from Inspector to Deputy Superintendent of Police due to the non-inclusion of his name in the combined gradation list, violating the Madhya Pradesh Police (Gazetted Officers) Recruitment Rules, 1987. The Court emphasized that the Tribunal's prior orders, which were not challenged, mandated the inclusion of all eligible inspectors in the promotion list. Consequently, the Court directed the authorities to include the appellant's name in the gradation list and consider his promotion accordingly.
