Supernumerary Posts Supreme Court

Issue for Consideration: The central issue is whether the State Government can, through a subsequent Government Order (G.O.), withdraw service benefits like seniority, probation, and promotion from persons with disabilities who were already regularized in service against supernumerary posts under a previous G.O. The Court had to determine if denying these benefits, after the employees had been given a "regular appointment," was discriminatory, irrational, and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.
