CASE SUMMARY: Tarlochan Singh v. U.T. of Chandigarh (C.A. No. 5284/1995) The Supreme Court allowed Tarlochan Singh's appeal on October 23, 2002, setting aside the Central Administrative Tribunal's order that had annulled his 1987 promotion to Sub-Divisional Engineer. The Court held that the Tribunal erred in construing recruitment rules to require annual Selection Committee meetings regardless of vacancy availability, and that acquiring AMIE qualification earlier does not entitle a candidate to earlier promotion consideration—seniority in the feeder cadre controls. Related appeals (C.A. Nos. 3415-16/1996 and 4474/1998) were disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
