PREM KUMAR VERMA vs U O I — C.A. No. 2250/1997

The Supreme Court allowed Prem Kumar Verma's appeal and restored the Railway Authority's seniority list, holding that seniority for Depot Store Keepers must be determined by merit in the post-training examination under the rule as it existed in July 1989, not by batch training order. The Court ruled that subsequent amendments to the rule (1990, 1993) cannot be applied retroactively, as the selection process was completed on 11.7.1989, making those amendments inapplicable to this recruitment.
