# Allahabad High Court: adverse entry of fixed period does not bar selection grade 2026-08-10T19:55:50+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Allahabad High Court ruled that an adverse entry against a government servant does not bar him from being granted selection grade if it pertains only to a specified period. Service rendered after that period counts towards the ten years of satisfactory service required for the grade. The bench also held that selection grade that falls due on the day after superannuation remains admissible. LiveLaw reports that the order came in response to a petition by a government servant who was denied selection grade because of an adverse entry for a particular period. The court clarified that such an entry cannot be used to reject benefits for subsequent unblemished service. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Tags: adverse entry, Allahabad High Court, government servant, selection grade, Service law Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/allahabad-high-court-adverse-entry-of-fixed-period-does-not-bar-selection-grade/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
