Shri Sanjeev Kumar Singh, Panel Lawyer, for the non- applicants.
This application has been filed for clarification/review of an order passed on 7.11.2012, in Writ Petition No.24187/2003.
Applicant was granted promotion on the post of Deputy Director with effect 22.2.1988; and, on the post of Joint Director with effect from 31.12.1996.
However, as the promotions were given only on the basis of notional promotion and as actual arrears of salary with effect from the date of promotion were not granted, applicant had filed the application before the State Administration Tribunal in the year 1999.
After winding up of the Tribunal, matter was transferred to this Court.
The relief claimed for by the applicant was to give him arrears of salary with regard to the promotion on the post of Deputy Director (Agriculture) with effect from 22.2.1988; and on the post of Joint Director with effect from 31.12.1996.
Even though the writ petition was allowed, but inadvertently while granting relief, it was only directed that arrears of salary on the post of Joint Director with effect from 31.12.1996 be granted.
Direction for grant of arrears of salary on the post of Deputy Director with effect from 22.2.1988 was not ordered.
For the grounds and reasons already indicated in the order-dated 7.11.2012, passed in Writ Petition No.24187/2003, applicant was also entitled to arrears of salary on promotion to 2 Review Petition No :
