SATYA VIR SINGH vs THE STATE OF HARYANA HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA REGISTRAR — C.A. No. 5959/2007

Case Summary: C.A. No. 5959/2007 (Satya Vir Singh v. High Court of Punjab and Haryana) The Supreme Court dismissed the appellants' appeal challenging their reversion from judicial positions. The Court held that the High Court's law principle—that judicial selection must be from a panel of multiple candidates, not a single nominee—applied directly to the appellants' case, despite their not receiving a show-cause notice before reversion. Appellant No. 1 was subsequently promoted in 2006 and Appellant No. 2 in 2011. The Court rejected the appeal on February 22, 2018, noting a factual error in the lower order but finding no jurisdiction to intervene.
