Case Summary: Ramesh Chandra Sharma v. State of Madhya Pradesh Outcome: The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh reconsideration. The Court established the legal principle that employees cannot leapfrog over seniors in higher posts merely due to accelerated promotions based on fortuitous postings in particular circles. Next Steps: The High Court was directed to dispose of the matter expeditiously, preferably within six months from the judgment date (August 23, 2017). No costs were awarded.
