What is this about?
This judgment addresses the determination of seniority for government staff who transferred from the Department of Health Services to the Medical Education Department. The court held that inter-departmental transfers on request attract a specific proviso resetting seniority to the new joining date, overturning the lower court's decision.
What did the court decide?
Impugned judgment set aside; seniority determined with reference to the date of joining the new department; recalculations and benefits to be effected within three months.
