The Court further construed the seniority rule purposively, holding that it applied to corrected retrospective promotion cases and did not create a casus omissus. The authority's assignment of the earlier year of allotment was upheld as a valid exercise of discretion, and the promotee was treated as senior to the direct recruit. en-us Thu, 12 Oct 1995 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 18:11:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=174300 Retrospective substantive appointment of a promotee officer from an anterior date had to be given full effect when fixing year of allotment and seniority, because seniority is tied to the operative date of appointment and cannot be defeated by later actual officiation alone.
