Rajendra Kumar Agrawal vs State Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of promotion to the post of Chief Engineer within the U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad, emphasizing the need for a Selection Committee to evaluate eligible candidates as per the order dated March 27, 2012. The Court held that previous provisions for reservation in promotions were declared ultra vires, following the precedent set in M. Nagaraj v. Union of India, thus allowing regular promotions to proceed without the impediments of the now-invalidated reservation rules. The Court directed the Parishad to take necessary steps for regular appointment to the Chief Engineer position, ensuring that interim arrangements do not affect the final selection process.
