W.P.(C) NO. 25824 OF 2010 (C)
=====================
Dated this the 17th day of August, 2010
J U D G M E N T
Prior to their entry in the Municipal Common Service,
petitioners have rendered provisional service in the Health
Department. Thereafter, they joined regular service in the
Municipal Common Service prior to 1/10/94. Petitioners 1 and 2
are presently posted in the 5th respondent and the 3rd petitioner is
presently working under the 6th respondent. In this writ petition,
what they claim is that the provisional services rendered by them
should be reckoned for grant of higher grade. This claim is sought
to be substantiated by referring to Exts.P3 and P5 judgments.
Having gone through Exts.P3 and P5 judgments, I am inclined to
think that this issue is covered in favour of the petitioners and
therefore, they are entitled to succeed.
2. I heard the standing counsel appearing for respondents
5 and 6.
Having regard to the above, the writ petition is disposed of
holding that the petitioners are entitled to have their provisional
services in the Health Services Department reckoned for grant of
WPC No. 25824/10
:2 :
increments and higher grade. It is directed that consequential
orders will be passed by the respondents on the production of a
copy of this judgment and the benefits on that basis will be
disbursed.
