Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the inter se seniority dispute among members of the Punjab Superior Judicial Service, specifically regarding the promotion and recruitment quotas as per the Punjab Superior Judicial Service Rules, 1963. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that seniority should be determined based on the length of continuous service rather than the date of confirmation, as amended by Rule 12. The judgment clarified the application of the 50%-25%-25% promotion and recruitment quota, affirming the High Court's ruling on the seniority list dated 24.12.2007.
