Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a special leave petition concerning the promotion of Office Assistants and Record Clerks to the post of Junior Bailiff in Tamil Nadu. The petitioners contended that their promotion should not require the SSLC qualification based on a prior High Court ruling and the timing of the vacancies. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal, affirming that the Tamil Nadu Government Servants (Conditions of Service) Act, 2016 supersedes previous judgments, and the qualifications must be adhered to as per the current law.
