Union Of India vs S.Ravichandran

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of promotion quotas within the Border Security Force (BSF) ministerial cadre, specifically under the Border Security Force (Assistant Commandant) Recruitment Rules, 1985. The Court held that the deletion of the 10% promotion quota for combatised ministerial officers was not implemented in accordance with the restructuring directives issued by the Government of India, thereby violating the rights of the ministerial cadre. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to established recruitment rules and equitable treatment in promotions, ultimately directing the authorities to rectify the situation.
