The Court remanded the case to the High Court for fresh decision, establishing a cut-off date for new writ petitions and directing that 282 vacancies (155 existing + 127 from redesignated Sardars as Supervisors Grade-II) be available for rival claimants' consideration based on their inter se seniority under the High Power Committee Report framework.
