Seniority of Govt Employees and Its Principles : High Court Decides the Issue of Seniority

Seniority of Govt. Employees and Its Principles : High Court Decides the Issue of Seniority

It has been held after looking at the BSF General Duty Cadre (Non-Gazetted) Recruitment Rules, 2002 that in the case of any appointment, therefore, whether by direct recruitment or promotion, seniority would have to be based on the date of appointment. Where Rule 8(2) of Rules applies, Rule 8(3) would not apply.
