It held that though Article 16(4A) of the Constitution enabled accelerated promotion for appointees under a reserved category, it did not confer an automatic right of promotion in the absence of provisions made by the State for the same. In the absence of any provision for consequential seniority in the rules, the 'catch up rule' would be applicable and the Respondents would not be able to rely on their accelerated seniority from the date of their promotion.</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Relevant : Article 16 Constitution of India nActCompID=16912 Indra Sawhney and Ors. v.
