The Supreme Court addressed the issue of seniority between promotees and direct recruits in the context of the U.P. Government Servants Seniority Rules, 1991. The court upheld the High Court's decision to apply the rota system for determining seniority, ensuring that promotees and direct recruits from the same recruitment year are listed in a cyclic order. This judgment clarifies the application of seniority rules and reinforces the principle of fair treatment in public service appointments.
