Seniority-Cum-Merit Selection | Notional Promotion Mandatory When Vacancy Unfilled Despite Higher Marks : CAT Allahabad

The tribunal directs notional promotion with retrospective benefits, setting a precedent for service jurisprudence where administrative discretion cannot override merit-based entitlements.
