Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the appointment and seniority of a Junior Engineer in the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation. The court examined the legality of the High Court's decisions that allowed a writ petition for the respondent, who contested his seniority and transfer. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming the respondent's position and seniority as Planning Assistant, thereby reinforcing the importance of adherence to recruitment rules under the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations Act, 1949.
