V.S.Sreeja, v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
This court dismissed a petition challenging the High Court's order upholding the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision. The court rejected the argument that excluding Railway employees with Grade Pay of Rs. 1900 from a 33 1/3% promotion quota to Ticket Examiners was discriminatory, finding an anomaly that justified the Tribunal's order allowing their participation.
What did the court decide?
No order as to costs; the petitioner's objections to the Tribunal's order were rejected with additional reasoning.
