casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: O.P. Lather & Ors. v. Satish Kumar Kakkar & Ors. The Supreme Court allowed the promotions of O.P. Lather, P.D. Sharma, and Daya Nand to Executive Engineer positions. The Court held that Haryana's October 1999 government order clarifying that State Board of Technical Education diplomas are equivalent to university diplomas was valid supplementary action within the rules, not an amendment requiring special procedure. The Court rejected the High Court's finding that only rules existing at vacancy date applied, ruling the clarification had no retrospective effect on vested rights and that the appellants, being senior to respondent Satish Kumar Kakkar, were eligible for promotion.
