Case Summary C.A. No. 009334/2018 – Government of Tamil Nadu v. Registration Department Employees Welfare Sangam The Supreme Court allowed Tamil Nadu's appeal, holding that recruitment to posts of Deputy Tahsildar, Assistant Commercial Tax Officer, and Sub-Registrar Grade II by transfer (not promotion) qualifies for backward class reservation. The Court ruled the High Court erred by ignoring the statutory definitions of "promotion" and "transfer" in the Tamil Nadu service rules, which specify transfers occur between categories with identical pay scales, making such appointments distinct from promotions where reservation restrictions apply.
