The post of Under Secretary on the ground that their promotion was in violation of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Administrative Services (Recruitment & Promotion) Rules, 1982 (hereinafter being referred to as ‘statutory rules’). Personal Asstts.(now re-designated as Private Secretaries) who have rendered not less than 8 years of approved service in the grade of Rs. Vacancies in this grade occurring in a year shall be filled in the ratio of 2:1 from amongst Section Officers (Gen.) and Sr. (now re-designated as Private Secretaries) be made to work as Section officer (Gen.) for a period of one year before they are considered for promotion to the post of Under Secretary/Administrative Officer.

Thus, there was no impediment for the promotion by selection of respondent No.1 to the post of Under Secretary under the statutory rules. 1 upon the post of Under Secretary was rightly reversed by the High Court.
