High Court Rules on Promotion as Fundamental Right

High Court Rules on Promotion as Fundamental Right

A woman from Patiala asked the Punjab and Haryana High Court to promote her to a higher position called senior town planner.

The court said that while employees can be considered for promotion, they don't have a guaranteed right to it.

The court did not promote her but said she should get the pay of a senior town planner from the date she started doing the job until she retires.

The court also mentioned that her disability claim was not accepted, and she will retire at the usual age of 58.
