Delay and laches in service matters bar claims for promotions and seniority; promotions must be challenged timely to contest consequential orders.
The promotion of an employee without prior notice or hearing violates principles of natural justice, rendering such actions void and unenforceable.
The court held that settled seniority cannot be disturbed after a long period, emphasizing the principle of res judicata and the limits of administrative power in altering promotion dates.
Promotion - There is no prayer in the petition challenging the seniority list. So, the issue of seniority cannot be gone into.
The court upheld that administrative discretion in regulating seniority during organizational transitions is valid, nullifying claims if not pursued promptly by affected personnel.
