Col. Ivs Gahlot vs Union Of India .

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's dismissal of O.A. No. 428/2013, affirming that the denial of promotion to the appellant was justified. The court noted that the Promotion Board (Medical) was not obligated to award marks for the Ph.D. degree from Berhampur University, as it was not recognized by the Medical Council of India. The court also found that the amendment to the promotion policy was valid, and thus the appellant's claims regarding the awarding of marks for his qualifications were rejected.
