SC warns against differentiate for promotions
The Supreme Court has said that the government cannot differentiate between two sets of employees as being “important” & “unimportant” for the purpose of promotions. The SC ruled that such differentiate would be in violation of the fundamental rights of the employee. The apex court passed the ruling by dismissing an appeal filed by the Food Corporation of India (FCI) challenging a direction of the Calcutta High Court for evolving an “Assured Career Promotion” scheme for employees working in the corporation’s engineering wing, a bench of Justices S. B. Sinha and G. S. Singhvi said. The grudge of the engineers was that they were stagnated in their posts for the past 30 years without promotions even though their colleagues in other departments had got regular time-bound promotions. Though the FCI took the stand before the High Court that certain schemes were being evolved for assured promotions of the engineers, it changed its stand in the apex court which irked the latter.
