Service Law | Approval Date Must Match Actual Appointment Date to Avoid Arbitrariness Under Article 14: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court has ruled that delaying approval of a government appointment years after service began violates Article 14 and constitutes administrative arbitrariness. The court mandated immediate correction of the approval date to match the original appointment date and ordered payment of full salary arrears, reinforcing that procedural delays cannot deprive employees of rightful benefits.
