Whether an employee's past service record effects his promotion... If he has been punished once for one offence which is minor with the punishment of withholding his promotion with non-commulitive effect, would that past incident effect his promotion..? Can he be denied from promotion solely on that ground despite being senior to other employees, his juniors has been promoted and he has been denied promotion solely on ground of his past service record..? Please suggest relevant laws and most particularly case laws, if any..??
