Guneshwar Sharma directed the State of Manipur to absorb two Assistant Project Officers as Project Officers in its Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department. Considering the employees' prior promotion, the court held that their subsequent absorption into a lower post was discriminatory compared to other similarly situated employees of the District Rural Development Agency.
