https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171696 Promotion to Superintending Engineer under the service regulations was governed by merit-based category placement, with Executive Engineers placed in Category I having priority over those in Category II. Seniority in the feeder cadre could operate only within the same category and could not override the prescribed category-wise preference. The classification was treated as rational and supported by intelligible differentia, so the contention that all eligible Executive Engineers stood on the same footing was rejected. A concession on law was held not to bind the parties, and the regulations were construed independently. Category I officers were therefore entitled to precedence in promotion over Category II officers. en-us Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 09:05:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171696 Promotion to Superintending Engineer under the service regulations was governed by merit-based category placement, with Executive Engineers placed in Category I having priority over those in Category II.
