Union Of India vs Arun Roye

The Supreme Court examined the First Respondent's grievances regarding his non-empanelment for promotion to Major General and Lieutenant General, focusing on the procedural fairness in the assessment of his Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) under the Army regulations. The Court held that the changes in assessment methods, particularly the introduction and subsequent removal of figurative assessments, did not violate the principles of natural justice as the First Respondent had acknowledged potential adverse effects prior to his posting. The Court ultimately upheld the decisions rejecting his statutory complaints, affirming the validity of the Army's assessment procedures.
