THE STATE OF HARYANA DEPARTMENT OF HOME FINANCIAL COMMISSIONER AND SECRETARY vs OM PRAKASH ASI — C.A. No. 220/2011

Case Summary: State of Haryana v. Om Prakash ASI (C.A. 220/2011) The Supreme Court dismissed Haryana's appeal challenging the High Court's 2008 order that upheld Om Prakash's promotion to ASI with benefits. Haryana had withdrawn the promotion order in 2005, claiming undue benefits were awarded, but the Court found his promotion was valid—against a regular vacancy within prescribed quota, made when his service record was excellent and he faced no departmental inquiry. Since Om Prakash had already retired in 2009, reversing the order would wrongfully withdraw accrued benefits. The Court upheld the High Court's reasoning and dismissed the appeal with no interim relief granted; each party bears own costs.
