    Summary: CWP/7809/2022 - Sant Ram Chauhan & Ors vs. Union of India & Ors Court's Decision: The Himachal Pradesh High Court allowed the petitions and quashed the NIT's July 2022 rejection of teachers' Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) benefits. The court held that NIT cannot deny AGP ₹9000 promotion eligibility based on a pre-April 30, 2013 cutoff date, as the Supreme Court's prior directions required considering claims under 2012-2013 guidelines without such temporal restrictions. Key Reasoning: Since the respondents never disputed the teachers' substantive eligibility before the Supreme Court (only procedural method), and the promised 4-tier faculty structure was never implemented, denying benefits using the cutoff date contradicts Supreme Court orders and constitutes arbitrary action in violation of administrative law principles. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
