Changes To Government Order Cannot Be Applied Retrospectively To Alter Established Seniority Rankings : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that changes to a government order cannot be applied retrospectively to alter established seniority rankings. The case involved a group of employees whose seniority was affected by a retrospective amendment to a government order. The Court clarified that such amendments could not disturb the settled seniority positions unless explicitly stated. This ruling ensures that employees who have earned their seniority through established rules are protected from retrospective changes that could alter their career progress.
