Judgement - of Main CaseView PDF
Case Summary: Prafful Shukla v. Government of Madhya Pradesh The Supreme Court dismissed appeals challenging the 1999 merger of the Adult Education Department staff with the Education Department on category-wise seniority basis. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, finding that cadre merger is a legitimate policy matter and that the merged posts carried identical responsibilities and equalized pay scales from 1996. The Court noted that only 17 of numerous affected officers challenged the merger across disparate seniority positions, with 24 years elapsed and multiple promotions/retirements occurring since implementation, weighing against interference.
