In the case of The State of Jammu and Kashmir v/s ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:47:32 ::: 23 WP2092-4236.11 Shri Triloki Nath Khosa & ors., reported in (1974) 1 SCC 19, the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court stated, "16. ......... It is wrong to characterize the operation of a service rule as retrospective for the reason that it applies to existing employees.

T.R. Kapur & Ors vs State Of Haryana & Ors on 17 December, 1986

While reiterating the very same view in the subsequent judgment in the case of T.R.Kapur v/s State of Haryana, reported in A.I.R. 1987 SC 415, the Supreme Court held, ".......... It may further be stated that an authority competent to lay down qualifications for promotion is also competent to change the qualifications. The rules defining qualifications and suitability for promotion are condition of service and they can be changed retrospectively. This rule is however subject to a well recognized principle that the benefits acquired under the existing rules cannot be taken away by an amendment with retrospective effect. That is to say, ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:47:32 ::: 21 WP2092-4236.11 there is no power to make such a rule under the proviso to Art.309 which affects or impairs vested rights. Therefore, unless it is specifically provided in the rules the employees who are already promoted before the amendment of the rules cannot be reverted and their promotions cannot be recalled. In other words, such rules laying down qualification for promotion made with retrospective effect must necessarily satisfy the test of Art.14 and 16(1) of the Constitution."
