GOVT. OF NATIONAL CAPITAL T. OF DELHI vs RAJENDRA KUMAR . — C.A. No. 1753/2007

Case Summary: C.A. No. 001753/2007 Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed Delhi Government's appeal with costs of Rs. 25,000. The court upheld the High Court's decision that four Senior Scientific Officers at the Forensic Science Laboratory were eligible for promotion to Assistant Director, with their prior service (7-12 years) counting toward the required five years of experience, regardless of their formal absorption date in 2002. The government's argument to count experience only from 2002 was rejected as neither logically nor legally tenable.
