Rabindra Nath Bose & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors on 9 October, 1969
In this case before us, many of the impugned promotions
had been effected during the year 1968-69 onwards. Three of
the present petitioners had challenged the validity of some
of the promotions granted to various deputationists as well
as the ranking given to them in a seniority list of ARC
personnel published in 1971 by filing Civil Writ Petition
No. 1020 of 1971 in the Delhi High Court. Though the High
Court by its judgment dated April 7, 1972 dismissed that
writ petition on the ground that it was premature inasmuch
as it had been submitted before it by the counsel for the
Union of India that all the existing arrangements in the ARC
were purely ad hoc and that service rules would be framed
shortly, the High Court has recorded clear findings in the
judgment that the principle adopted for the preparation of
the combined seniority-list of 1971 could not be said to
have violated Articles 14 to 16 of the Constitution and that
it had not been shown by the writ petitioners in that case
that the impugned promotions had been effected in violation
of any "statutory rules, constitutional or statutory
limitations or even administrative instructions" .
