| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed as the right to promotion is not considered a part of the terms and conditions of service. The Tribunal emphasized that future promotions are not guaranteed and depend on the latest applicable rules. The appellant's claim was based on a 25-year service record, but the Tribunal found that the lack of minimum qualifications under the new rules justified the decision to deny promotion. The ruling established that promotion rules could be updated without affecting those already in service. |
