PANKAJ PRAKASH vs UNITED INDIA INSURANCE CO.LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the promotion of the appellant from Deputy Manager to Manager, which was denied due to non-communication of Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APAR). The court reiterated its previous rulings in Dev Dutt vs Union of India and Sukhdev Singh vs Union of India, emphasizing the necessity of communicating performance appraisals to ensure fair promotion processes. The appeal was allowed, reinforcing the principle that non-communication of APARs violates the rights of employees under service law.
