Cited by
We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.
Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.

The controversy raised in this case is already covered by a judgment of this Court reported in Shamblm Singh Meena v. State of Rajasthan, (1995) supp. 2 SCC 431, wherein this Court, on consideration of rule 28-B of the Rajasthan Administrative Service Rules 1954 and its explanation as it stood prior to November 30, 1991, had interpreted and held that the rule requires that the record of the officer should be outstanding or consistently very good and that would imply that it should be so for the entire period under consideration. The view of the High Court, therefore, was upheld and held that the amendment made on 30-11-1991, being subsequent to the orders of promotions which were challenged in those cases could not apply to the cases prior to the amendment came into force. The same ratio applies to the facts in this case. Therefore, we do not find any ground warranting issuance of notice for interference.
