Case History
Summary of C.A. No. 007533/2013 (Dishant Salwan v. State of Punjab) The Supreme Court allowed Dishant Salwan's appeal on September 2, 2013, directing his reinstatement as Junior Engineer (Civil) with continuity of service and seniority without back wages. Salwan's appointment had been cancelled to comply with the High Court's earlier order favoring Manjit Singh (Respondent 4), but Singh declined the position after securing employment elsewhere. The Court found that since Salwan and Singh belonged to different reservation categories (General vs. SC ex-servicemen), Salwan's termination was improper; he should have remained appointed. The previous orders of the Division Bench and Single Judge were set aside with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
