LT. GENERAL MANOMOY GANGULY VSM vs UNION OF INDIA

The Supreme Court upheld the Armed Forces Tribunal's decision favoring Major General Manomoy Ganguly regarding his promotion to Lieutenant General and subsequent eligibility for the Director General Medical Services (Army) position. The Court found that the Special Promotion Board (Medical) had incorrectly assessed his profile, awarding him lesser marks than warranted. The Court directed the Raksha Mantri to consider the appointment of DGMS (Army) in light of the petitioner's eligibility, thereby reinforcing the principle that promotions must be based on fair assessments and merit.
