B.P. GAUR vs UNION OF INDIA . — SLP(C) No. 11186/2012

Summary of B.P. Gaur v. Union of India, SLP(C) No. 011186/2012 The Supreme Court dismissed B.P. Gaur's Special Leave Petition on 26 March 2012. Gaur, promoted as an ad-hoc Draftsman in 1979 and regularized in 1984 with an explicit stipulation that ad-hoc service would not count toward seniority, sought to have his seniority fixed from 1979. The Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's and High Court's decisions, finding that the 1984 regularization order clearly specified seniority would commence from June 1984, not from the ad-hoc appointment date, because the post was meant for direct recruitment, not promotion. The petition was dismissed at the threshold as legally without merit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
