Case Summary: Union of India v. Jitendra Varshney (C.A. No. 1953/2004) The Supreme Court dismissed Union of India's appeal on December 8, 2005. Respondents, initially appointed as Chief Booking Supervisors, were denied promotion to Group 'B' to 'C' posts based on colour-blindness. The Central Administrative Tribunal and High Court both allowed their promotion claims. The Court found the case squarely covered by precedent (Union of India v. Sanjay Kumar Jain) and rejected the Union's new argument about disability definitions, holding it could not be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court. No costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
