    Summary of CWP/18/2023 (Ashwani Kumar vs. NIT Hamirpur) The Himachal Pradesh High Court allowed Ashwani Kumar's petition, quashing NIT Hamirpur's rejection of his Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) promotion claim. The Court held that NIT's decision to deny AGP ₹9000 based on insufficient experience before April 30, 2013 cutoff was illegal, as the Supreme Court had already acknowledged his eligibility without disputing it, making the eligibility criterion interpretation arbitrary and unconstitutional.
