Chitranjan Kumar Birnavay Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed Bihar State Electricity Board's appeals and quashed the High Court's direction granting the respondent promotion to Under-Secretary w.e.f. 1.3.1982. The Court found the High Court failed to consider the departmental promotion committee's conclusion that no Administrative Officer was promoted on that date, and respondent's seniors were considered only in 1986. The respondent's eligibility did not confer a right to backdated promotion. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
