Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's directive to revise the seniority list for promotions to Deputy Tahsildar, emphasizing the implementation of amended Rule 5(g) of the Tamil Nadu Revenue Subordinate Service Rules. The Court reaffirmed the preference for Direct Recruit Assistants over Promotee non-graduate Assistants, aligning with its previous ruling in M. Rathinaswami v. State of Tamil Nadu (2009) 5 SCC 625. The judgment clarified that the amended rules are valid and enforceable, thereby dismissing the appeals against the High Court's order.
