KULWANT KR SOOD vs STATE OF H.P. — C.A. No. 5356/1997

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Kulwant Kr. Sood's appeal on November 7, 2001. Sood, a Clerk promoted to Assistant in 1974 at the Resident Commissioner's Office, challenged the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal's order limiting his seniority recognition to November 30, 1980 (rather than from 1974). The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, finding no rules or equitable grounds to grant seniority prior to the 1980 date, despite acknowledging Sood's selection as Assistant in 1974. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
