Judgement - of Main CaseView PDF
The Supreme Court upheld an Administrative Tribunal's directive that Assistant Engineer positions in Tamil Nadu be filled in a 3:1 ratio—75% through direct recruitment and 25% through transfer/promotion from eligible lower grades (Overseers and Civil Draftsmen). The court found the current rules (1985 Tamil Nadu Engineering Service Special Rules) legitimate, dismissing arguments that the ratio wasn't being maintained or that ineligible candidates were improperly filling posts. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
