Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation against the judgment of the Rajasthan High Court, which upheld the entitlement of the respondent to Selection Grades based on his years of service. The court noted that the respondent's claim for Selection Grades was valid as per the Office Order issued by the Finance Department, despite his compulsory retirement and previous departmental penalties. The decision reinforced the principle that entitlements based on service length should be honored unless there are compelling reasons otherwise.
