Further, Hon'ble Supreme Court in C.C. Padmanabhan and Ors. v. Director
of Public Instructions and Ors., 1980 (Suppl.) SCC 668=1981(1) SLJ 165
(SC), observed that 'Promotion' as understood in ordinary parlance and also
as a term frequently used in cases involving service laws means that a

appointed to another post which satisfies either of the two conditions
namely that the new post is in higher category of the same service or class.
