J.N. BANEVALIKAR vs MUN. CORPN. OF DELHI — C.A. No. 8434/1995

The Supreme Court dismissed Dr. Banavalikar's appeal, holding that the Medical Superintendent position is not a promotional post but an administrative assignment given to the senior-most specialist, carrying no vested right to continued tenure. Although acknowledging the post's unique status and dignity, the Court found no evidence of arbitrary, unfair, or malafide action in appointing Dr. Patnaik as Medical Superintendent and removing the appellant after 5.5 years of service.
