UNION OF INDIA . vs K.SAVITRI . — C.A. No. 6201 - 6206/1995

Summary: The Supreme Court reversed the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision and held that surplus employees redeployed under the Central Civil Services (Redeployment of Surplus Staff) Rules, 1990 cannot count their past services for seniority or promotional experience in the new organization. The court found that Rule 9 and the Government's revised scheme (Para 11.1) explicitly stipulate that past services rendered prior to redeployment should not count toward seniority, and consequently, past experience also cannot be credited for promotion purposes in the redeployed organization.
