Finality of Judicial Orders | Retrospective Notional Promotions Under 1979 Service Rules Cannot Be Reopened : CAT Lucknow
CAT Lucknow rules that once promotions under the 1979 Service Rules are settled by judicial order, they acquire finality and cannot be undone-even if the original reasoning contained legal errors. The decision reinforces vested rights in service matters, protecting employees from retrospective administrative revisions post-cadre restructuring.
