https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=401231 Rule 27 of the Rajasthan Commercial Taxes Subordinate Services (General Branch) Rules, 1975 fixes seniority in the cadre ordinarily from the date of appointment. The limited exception in the second proviso protects earlier-selection seniority only where recruits belong to the same source or class and the later appointment is delayed for administrative reasons. In a composite first-time recruitment to the Tax Assistant cadre, where direct recruits and departmental promotees entered through different quotas and eligibility streams, seniority followed actual appointment dates. Earlier commencement of a selection process did not displace the main rule, and departmental promotees ranked senior because they were appointed earlier. en-us Thu, 26 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 02 Dec 2020 09:55:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=401231 Rule 27 of the Rajasthan Commercial Taxes Subordinate Services (General Branch) Rules, 1975 fixes seniority in the cadre ordinarily from the date of appointment.
