Madhya Pradesh High Court (Division Bench (DB)- Two Judge)

MP, 6503 of 2019, Judgment Date: Apr 30, 2020

Any scheme or the policy, in relation to service, providing progression has an element of upgradation, which barring few exceptions, is distinct from promotion. While promotion involves advancement in rank, grade or both and is always a step towards advancement to higher position, grade or honour, upgradation does not involve promotion to a higher position and the pedestal of the employee remains the same.
