Case Summary: Raj Kumar v. Rohtas & Ors. (C.A. No. 001841/2005) Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal on March 28, 2005, setting aside the High Court's judgment. The Court held that Raj Kumar's promotion to Safai Daroga on March 1, 1999 was legal and valid, and directed his reinstatement with all consequential benefits. Key Issue: Whether Respondent No. 1 (Rohtas) was eligible for promotion on March 1, 1999, when both he and the appellant were Safai Karamcharis in a Municipal Committee. The eligibility requirement mandated literacy (Hindi knowledge). The Court found that while Rohtas later claimed Hindi literacy in July 2001 (2.5 years after promotion decisions), this could not be applied retrospectively to March 1999 when municipal records showed him as illiterate. The Court clarified that Rohtas may be treated as literate from July 21, 2001 onwards for future benefits.
