Orders
Case Summary: K.R. Babu v. State of Kerala (C.A. 7849/2009) The Supreme Court dismissed both appeals, affirming that seniority for civil service appointments must be determined by the effective date of advice from the Public Service Commission, not the actual appointment date. The Court re-fixed T. Raju's seniority to 01.04.1999 (the next advisable vacancy after his earlier High Court judgment), directing appropriate appointments and promotions within one month, with monetary benefits treated as notional and any reversion deferred until his retirement.
