The Supreme Court addressed the issue of promotion eligibility for Office Assistants and Record Clerks in Tamil Nadu, who challenged the insistence on SSLC qualification for the post of Junior Bailiff. The court noted that their claim was based on a prior High Court order and the timing of the vacancies relative to the enactment of the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016. Ultimately, the court upheld the High Court's dismissal of their petition, affirming the requirement for educational qualifications.
