BOHAR SINGH . vs STATE OF PUNJAB . — C.A. No. 3019/2003

Summary of C.A. No. 003019/2003 — Bohar Singh v. State of Punjab The Supreme Court dismissed Bohar Singh's appeal challenging the High Court's decision to quash his promotion to Kanungo. Although the District Collector granted conditional promotion after Singh partially passed the departmental examination, the Court held he could not be promoted because he failed the mandatory Urdu paper and the District Collector lacked authority to grant the required relaxation—only the Government of Punjab could do so, which it never did. The Court left open the possibility for State authorities to reconsider his case if he meets all statutory eligibility requirements.
