    Summary The Himachal Pradesh High Court allowed Gulab Singh's petition and quashed the prospective-only provision of the June 21, 2019 promotion notification. The court held that since the petitioner actually worked on the Tehsildar post from January 8, 2014 (on ad-hoc basis), he was entitled to all consequential benefits retroactively from that date, not merely prospectively from 2019 as the state had granted. The court ordered the state to release all arrears with 6% interest if not paid within three months, relying on Supreme Court precedent that retrospective promotions require actual performance of duties on the promoted post. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
