PANDURANG vs UNION OF INDIA . — C.A. No. 3204/2008

Case Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of Pandurang's appeal challenging the High Court's rejection of his claim for promotion to Blacksmith Grade II. The Court upheld that appellant was not entitled to the promotion, as both the Tribunal and High Court found the railway administration justified in cancelling his Grade D and Group B promotions. However, the Court modified the order, directing the railway administration to consider his retiral benefits and pension with utmost sympathy, noting his 32 years of service despite belated regularization in Group D (2005) before his August 2012 retirement.
