SRI CHHEDI PRASAD SINGH vs BANKESWAR PANDEY . — C.A. No. 733/2008

Case Summary: C.A. No. 733/2008 - Sri Chhedi Prasad Singh v. Bankeshwar Pandey On September 20, 2011, the Supreme Court allowed the appeals, setting aside the High Court's judgment that had declared respondent Bankeshwar Pandey senior to appellant Chhedi Prasad Singh. The Court found the High Court had overlooked that Singh was promoted as ad-hoc lecturer on 24.2.1985 (with Director approval) and his 10-year service count began from that date, making him senior. Although Singh could not be reinstated as Principal (having retired on 30.6.2009), he was deemed to have continued as Principal until retirement, entitling him to pensionary benefits without salary arrears. Respondent's salary was to be refixed based on his actual promotion date of 1.7.2009. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
