The main grievance of the Appellant was “that they have already undergone a selection process for their lateral movement as Constable Drivers. It is impermissible to make them to go through yet another selection process for appointment to the post of Head Constable Motor Transport. According to the Appellants, all Constable Drivers should be eligible to be promoted either as Head Constable Drivers or as Head Constable Motor Transport on the basis of seniority without going through any selection process.” Referring to the appendix to the Rules, the Appellants submitted that there is nothing highly technical about the post of Head Constable Motor Transport.

The impugned order of the Hon’ble High Court was upheld by observing that: – “The selection process is mandated due to the posts of Head Constable Motor Transport being highly technical. The Rules are neither discriminatory nor arbitrary. Constable Drivers can be promoted on the basis of seniority to Head Constable Drivers. If they desire to be appointed as Head Constable Motor Transport, then they have to go through selection process. No interference with the judgment of the High Court is warranted.”
