Supreme Court rules no vested right to claim promotion under repealed rules

The case involves whether private respondents (writ petitioners) are entitled to promotion to the post of 'Rajbhasha Adhikari' under earlier rules instead of the 2005 Rules, as decided by the High Court.

Appellant(s): Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and Another; Respondent(s): G.N. Mani Ravinder and Others; Bench: Prashant Kumar Mishra, J.

• The Court held that the private respondents have no vested right to claim promotion under repealed rules.
• The Court distinguished the case from Medini C. and Others v. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited and Others, stating that the respondents in this case were never regularly promoted on officiating basis.
• The Court affirmed that the 2002 Rules were never brought into operation and the 2005 Rules require a written test for promotion.
