casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Dwarka Prasad v. UOI (C.A. 5332/1997) The Supreme Court dismissed Preventive Officers' appeals challenging the 20% promotion quota to Appraiser posts (versus 75% for Examining Officers), rejecting claims of arbitrary discrimination. The Court held that quota fixation is an employer's prerogative considering multiple factors beyond mere cadre strength, and the differential quotas were justified because POs have dual promotion channels (100% to Superintendent posts plus 20% to Appraiser posts) while EOs have only one channel, constituting distinct classes deserving different treatment.
