- Rules are made to be implemented — not to be violated — non-availability of post , no ground for violation of the enforced rules — It is settled principle of law that the rules are made to be implemented and not violated, so it is the duty of the authority to meet the eventualities and at the same time avoid violation of law and rules. Merely, on the pretext of non-availability of post the authority cannot be allowed to violate law. When the authority has itself prescribed the mode of appointment only through promotion excluding and omitting the mode of appointment through transfer, then after enforcement of the Rules the disputed post cannot be filled up through appointment by transfer. It is the duty and job of the Government and not anyone else to take proper measures for adjustment of the incumbent, the appellant, and at the same time implement the enforced Rules. Javed Iqbal v. Tasadaq Hussain & 9 others 2016 SCR 1589 (E)
