SUMMARY: On 25.04.2001, the Supreme Court dismissed Civil Appeal No. 9943/1995 and related appeal CA No. 8565/1997 filed by the High Court of Punjab & Haryana against Bahadur Singh Batta. The appeals challenged the High Court's direction to step up Batta's pay under Fundamental Rule 22, as he was senior to his junior colleague Balwant Singh Virk in the Clerk cadre. The Court held that Batta, having been denied earlier promotion due to a wrong interpretation of seniority rules (which the Supreme Court itself had corrected in W.P. 331/1972), was entitled to have his pay stepped up to eliminate salary anomalies upon promotion, in accordance with Fundamental Rule 22. The Court found no infirmity in the impugned direction and dismissed both appeals. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
