UNION OF INDIA . vs SRI ASHIMENDRA NARAYAN CHAKRABORTY — C.A. No. 2230/2011

Case Summary: C.A. No. 002230/2011 The Supreme Court allowed the Union of India's appeal and set aside the Calcutta High Court's order. The respondent, a South Eastern Railway employee, sought to include an ad hoc promotion period (1978-79) in calculating retiral benefits, but both the Central Administrative Tribunal and High Court rejected this claim. Although the High Court found no merit in his case, it granted him an additional promotion after 12 years in service as a matter of equity. The Supreme Court found this relief untenable, holding the respondent had already received two regular promotions and did not qualify under time-bound promotion schemes. The appeal was allowed with no costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
