The reversion did not constitute a "reduction in rank" under Article 311(2) of the Constitution as the respondents were officiating appointees without a right to hold the posts. The repeal of the 1942 Rules by the 1960 Rules further supported this decision. Additionally, reversion orders post-November 1, 1966, were deemed ineffective as they were not communicated before the reorganization of Punjab. The impugned orders were annulled, and the appeals were dismissed without costs. en-us Wed, 21 May 1969 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 16 Feb 2022 11:07:11 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=300627 The court dismissed the appeals challenging reversion orders of respondents, ruling that the Punjab Service of Engineers, Buildings and Roads Branch Rules, 1942 did not apply to them.
