S.B.MISHRA vs BADRI PRASAD SACHAN . — C.A. No. 5554/1999

Case Summary: S.B. Mishra v. Badri Prasad Sachan (C.A. No. 5554/1999) On February 20, 2002, the Supreme Court dismissed S.B. Mishra's appeal challenging the Allahabad High Court's decision on inter se seniority. The dispute involved two college employees whose institution was upgraded in 1965 with new postgraduate positions advertised afresh. Although Mishra had continuous prior service, both he and Sachan were appointed on the same day to the upgraded posts following selection. The Court held they were "fresh entrants" and their seniority must be determined under Statute 7(B) based on date of birth per School Leaving Certificate, making Sachan (born 7.8.1940) senior to Mishra (born 4.11.1942). The Court found no infirmity in the High Court judgment and dismissed the appeal accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
