Jobs me promotion disputes bohot common hain – “mujhse junior promote ho gaya”, “merit list unfair thi”, “roster galat apply हुआ”. Law yaha rules, notifications, promotion policies and seniority lists pe heavily depend karta hai.
Kuch services strictly seniority-cum-fitness model follow karte hain – jisme senior ko preference hoti hai, provided basic fitness criteria meet ho. Others merit-cum-seniority ya pure merit-based competitive exams adopt karte hain. Employer ko jo model notified rules ke through choose kiya hai, wahi follow karna hota hai.
Promotion challenge strong tab hota hai jab:
- Rules ke against selection kiya gaya,
- Eligible persons ko without reason bypass kiya,
- Favouritism, mala fide, manipulation ka clear pattern ho,
- Reservation roster, qualifications ya experience criteria galat apply hua.
Courts normally expert committees ke assessment me ghusna nahi chahte, but clear illegality pe interference possible hai. Time limitation yaha bhi important hai – result aane ke baad lambe delay se challenge weak pad jata hai.
