    Case Summary: WP(C)/40/2026 - SMTI. JENNY NDANG v. THE SPEAKER, NAGALAND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY The Gauhati High Court dismissed petitioner Jenny Ndang's challenge to the promotion of respondent Khruohituonuo Rio to Secretary of Nagaland Legislative Assembly, holding that the Secretary post is a selection position governed by Rule 12 (not Rule 15) and does not require a Departmental Promotion Committee. The court found Rio's promotion valid despite her earlier exclusion from the general cadre, since the 2022 service rules amendment eliminated cadre distinctions above Joint Secretary level, making Rio eligible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
