casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Tamil Nadu Housing Board v. N. Balasubramanium (C.A. 5907-5908/1999) The Supreme Court allowed the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's appeals, setting aside the High Court's judgment that had directed creation of supernumerary posts for respondents' promotion to Assistant Executive Engineer. The Court held that mandatory eligibility criteria in the Service Regulations (15 years for Draftsmen, 10 years for Junior Engineers) cannot be overridden by executive instructions, as doing so would render statutory regulations redundant and create absurdity.
