Case Summary: Devki Nandan Sharma v. Novodaya Vidyalaya Samiti Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal on April 1, 2009. The Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's order (affirmed by the High Court) directing the respondent to consider the appellant for either in situ promotion or a line for further promotion after 12 years of service. The Court found that adequate relief had already been granted and declined to interfere, noting it cannot direct an employer to create specific promotional avenues where none exist in the rules.
