Promotion in Service

Disciplinary Action against the officers and employees of the Board.

The settled principle of law is that seniority alone is not the sole basis for promotion and that seniority does not create a claim for being promoted although the same create a right in favour of an employee to consider his case of promotion along with the case of others who are posted in the similar situation. Promotion is to be earned by rendering meritorious service and other than seniority promotion is also conditioned by other factors, such as efficiency, good conduct, character, integrity, sense of value, honesty and temperamental suit- ability.
