As per<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P3, he was directed to be promoted with effect from 24.4.1998 reverting<\/p>\n<p>the third respondent. The said order was modified as per Ext.P6, whereby it<\/p>\n<p>was clarified that the petitioner is notionally promoted as Social Worker<\/p>\n<p>with effect from 24.4.1998 without any back arrears, cancelling Ext.P3. By<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P8 he is informed that the claim for grant of 8 years higher grade in the<\/p>\n<p>category of social worker with effect from 24.4.2006 cannot be considered,<\/p>\n<p>since his notional promotion as Social Worker for the period from<\/p>\n<p>24.4.1998 to 1.10.2004 will not be reckoned as qualifying service for time<\/p>\n<p>bound higher grade.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in the light of the<\/p>\n<p>decision of this Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/577088\/\">Ibrahim v. Commissioner &amp; Secretary<\/a> to<\/p>\n<p>Government (2003 (1) KLT 534), Ext.P8 order cannot be sustained.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, even though Ext.P6 order cannot be supported, he is confining<\/p>\n<p>his argument on the validity of Ext.P8.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3. The petitioner started his career as Driver in the Govt. Medical<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 34287\/2008                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>College, Calicut. He possesses the qualifications of B.Com., B.A. and M.A.<\/p>\n<p>Degrees in Sociology obtained from the Calicut University. The petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was claiming for promotion to the post of Social Worker when a vacancy<\/p>\n<p>arose in the Medical Education Service on 28.2.1995. He had to approach<\/p>\n<p>this Court by filing O.P.No.4748\/1999 and this Court by judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>21.7.2005 directed the petitioner to file a representation in the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Pursuant to the same, Ext.P3 order was passed. It is pointed out that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner is senior to the third respondent and the denial of promotion was<\/p>\n<p>absolutely wrong also. By Ext.P4, he was asked whether he has got any<\/p>\n<p>objection to the proposal whereby the third respondent was sought to be<\/p>\n<p>accommodated in one of the vacancies and the petitioner              can be<\/p>\n<p>accommodated as Social Worker in the department of Blood Bank. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s willingness as directed above, was forwarded by him as per<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P5 with retrospective effect from 24.4.1998. Later, by Ext.P6, he was<\/p>\n<p>granted notional promotion.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4. The question is whether the period from 24.4.1998 to 1.10.2004<\/p>\n<p>could be reckoned as qualifying service for time bound higher grade. In<\/p>\n<p>Ibrahim&#8217;s case (2003 (1) KLT 534) it was held by this Court in similar<\/p>\n<p>circumstances that when a person obtained the promotion based on the<\/p>\n<p>direction issued by this Court, the period of notional service could be<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 34287\/2008                          3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>reckoned for the purpose of granting higher grade. It was           held thus in<\/p>\n<p>para 1:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;Stagnation in a scale for ten years is the basis for granting higher<\/p>\n<p>       grade. Though the petitioner was granted only notional benefits, it<\/p>\n<p>       has to be seen that he was in the scale in the said period of ten years.<\/p>\n<p>       Whether a person who was in actual discharge of duties attached to a<\/p>\n<p>       post is not a consideration relevant in the matter of granting higher<\/p>\n<p>       grade. Having been denied promotion and the promotion having<\/p>\n<p>       been restored pursuant to the directions issued by this Court, it is<\/p>\n<p>       only in the interest of justice that the petitioner is granted at least the<\/p>\n<p>       higher grade taking the period of notional service as service for the<\/p>\n<p>       purpose of granting higher grade.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>       5. The petitioner was denied promotion initially and only by Ext.P3<\/p>\n<p>order, he could get promotion. In that view of the matter, by denying the<\/p>\n<p>benefit of higher grade without counting the period from 24.4.1998 to<\/p>\n<p>1.10.2004, he will loose back arrears as well as the benefit of higher grade.<\/p>\n<p>In the light of the dictum laid down by this Court in Ibrahim&#8217;s case (2003<\/p>\n<p>(1) KLT 534) the said position cannot be accepted.\n<\/p>\n<p>       6. Therefore, Ext.P8 is quashed. It is declared that the petitioner is<\/p>\n<p>entitled for grant of higher grade reckoning the period from 24.4.1998 to<\/p>\n<p>1.10.2004. Going by Ext.P13, a notification has been issued inviting<\/p>\n<p>applications for the post of Social Scientist.        Therein, there is a Note<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 34287\/2008                        4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>indicating that when there are more than one employee in the Medical<\/p>\n<p>Education Service willing for promotion to the post of Social Scientist, the<\/p>\n<p>person in the higher scale will be preferred. In the light of the direction<\/p>\n<p>issued by this Court to grant higher grade, the claim of the petitioner also<\/p>\n<p>will be considered along with others, if any. Appropriate orders with<\/p>\n<p>regard to the higher grade benefits will be passed within a period of two<\/p>\n<p>months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition is allowed as above. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                    (T.R.
