Officiating And Temporary

Officiating and temporary, the word 'officiating' is generally used when a servant having held one post permanently or substantively is appointed to a post in a higher rank, but not permanently or sub-stantively. The word 'temporary' usually denotes a person appointed in the civil service for the first time and the appointment is not permanent but temporary, Arun Kumar Chatterjee v.
