Union Of India vs Pushpa Rani & Ors on 29 July, 2008
In Pushpa Rani (supra),
the policy dated 19.10.2003 pertained to restructuring by merging Group
„C‟ and Group „D‟ posts to create a new cadre, thereby involving a change
in cadre structure. The policy itself clarified that such instructions would not
apply in cases where there is no change in duties or designation. In the
present case, there is no change in cadre, duties, or designation. The
exercise undertaken is purely for financial upgradation to address
stagnation. Hence, the said judgment does not support the case of the
respondents.
