Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the amendment to the Delhi High Court Establishment (Appointment & Conditions of Service) Rules, 1972, which limited promotional avenues for Junior Translators to Senior Judicial Assistants, violated Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. The Court held that the amendment was void and mandated the restoration of prior promotional avenues for Junior Translators. The judgment emphasized the need for equitable claims to be balanced with legal entitlements in employment matters.
