As per the case facts, an employee sought promotion from an earlier date based on when the post became vacant. The Single Judge denied this, but the High Court's Division ... Bench favored the employee in an appeal. The Bihar State Electricity Board then appealed to the Supreme Court. The question arose whether the High Court's Division Bench was justified in overturning the Single Judge's decision, allowing the employee's promotion to be effective from an earlier vacancy date rather than the actual promotion date. Finally, the Supreme Court found that the Division Bench should not have intervened. It clarified that merely completing a training period did not entitle the employee to an earlier promotion date, as the Board's resolution was merely advisory, not a statutory entitlement. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, restoring the Single Judge's original order.
