https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=189048 A merit-based promotion scheme that classified officers as Outstanding, Very Good, Good or Unfit displaced the earlier seniority-based approach, so the Selection Committee was not required to record reasons for superseding senior officers. The absence of recorded reasons did not violate Articles 14 and 16 or natural justice because a civil servant had only a right to be considered for promotion, not a right to promotion. Non-forwarding of reasons did not vitiate the select list once no duty to record reasons survived. Participation of an officer holding additional charge did not invalidate the committee absent bias or personal interest, the regulations were not ultra vires the parent rule, and delay in forwarding comments did not by itself establish mala fides. en-us Thu, 11 Dec 1986 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 26 Dec 2016 18:04:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=189048 A merit-based promotion scheme that classified officers as Outstanding, Very Good, Good or Unfit displaced the earlier seniority-based approach, so the Selection Committee was not required to record reasons for superseding senior officers.
