UNION OF INDIA vs C.R. MADHAVA MURTHY

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals filed by the Union of India against the Karnataka High Court's decision that allowed the writ petitions of the respondents regarding the Assured Career Progression Scheme (ACP Scheme). The court examined the promotion and upgradation policies, determining that the respondents, who were promoted earlier, were entitled to the benefits of the ACP Scheme despite the upgradation of junior employees. The court upheld the High Court's ruling, affirming the rights of the original writ petitioners to equal treatment under the scheme.
