Case Summary: R. Hariharan v. K. Balachandran Nair (2000) The Supreme Court reversed the Kerala High Court's decision on seniority between in-service promoted engineers and direct recruits at the Kerala State Electricity Board. The Court held that the Public Service Commission's mandatory consultation requirement on candidate suitability applies to Assistant Engineer appointments, but upheld the State Government's authority to override the Commission's objections and grant regularization from the date qualifications were acquired.
