Promotions: Seniority and merit have to be considered: SC

The Chief Justice stated that the public can see the Supreme Court’s work because of the cases’ live coverage.

Earlier, the Supreme Court released its Second Quarterly Report – 17th December, 2023 to 31st March, 2024 – wherein, brief summary of important cases, decided during this period, was provided.

The report said that in the “Promotion to a Selection Post” case, the apex court held that in promotion to a selection post, seniority and merit have to be considered, whereas, a non-selection post is to be filled on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness.
