Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed an appeal by the Union of India against a High Court order that mandated the adjustment of certain individuals in the Indian Forest Service (IFS) cadre based on earlier promotions. The court examined the legality of clubbing vacancies for promotions, referencing its previous judgment in Union of India vs. Vipinchandra Hiralal Shah. Ultimately, the court upheld the High Court's decision, reinforcing the need for adherence to the IFS (Appointment by Promotion) Regulations, 1966.
