B. V. Sivaiah & Ors vs K. Addanki Babu & Ors on 17 July, 1998

This judgment, in our opinion, does not make a departure from the law laid down by this Court in the earlier judgments explaining the criterion of "seniority-cum-merit" because in this case, the selection had been made by-taking into account the seniority as well as performance and performance was appraised by assigning marks on the basis of performance appraisal and interview. Those who secured 85 marks out of 150 marks were short-listed for promotion, which shows that securing 85 marks out of 150 marks was treated as the minimum standard of merit for purposes of promotion and those who satisfied the said minimum standard were selected for promotion on the basis of seniority.

Sant Ram Sharma vs State Of Rajasthan & Anr on 7 August, 1967

In Sant Ram Sharma v. State of Rajasthan (supra) the Supreme Court observed that principle of seniority ensures absolute objectivity by requiring all promotions to be' made entirely on the ground of seniority and that if a post falls vacant it is filled by the person who has served the longest in the post immediately below. But the trouble with the seniority system is that it is so objective that it fails to take any account of personal merit. It is fair to every official except the best ones; an official has nothing to win or lose provided he does not actually become so inefficient that disciplinary action has to be taken against him. The Court expressed the view that there should be correct balance between seniority and merit in a proper promotion-policy. The criterion of seniority-cum-merit' and 'merit-cum-seniority' which takes into account seniority as well as merit seems to achieve such a balance. While the principle of 'merit-cum-seniority' lays greater emphasis on merit or ability-seniority playing less significant role - to be given weight only when merit or ability are approximately equal, the criterion of seniority-cum-merit has greater emphasis on seniority.
