Balakrishnan Nair, J.\n<\/p>\n
      The petitioner is an Assistant, working in the Regional Passport<\/p>\n
Office, Kochi. He commenced service as a Daily Rated Clerk with effect<\/p>\n
from 1.7.1977. He was regularized as Lower Division Clerk with effect<\/p>\n
from 3.7.1980. The said date of regularization was pre-dated as 8.12.1978.<\/p>\n
On finding that some of his juniors were granted regularization with effect<\/p>\n
from the date of their initial engagement, the petitioner filed a<\/p>\n
representation in 2006, claiming that his regularization be pre-dated with<\/p>\n
effect from 1.7.1977. By Annexure-A7 order, the said prayer was granted.<\/p>\n
But, he was not granted consequential benefits. Therefore, O.A.No.49\/2008<\/p>\n
was filed before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Ernakulam Bench.<\/p>\n
The said O.A was allowed by the Tribunal by Ext.P5 order             dated<\/p>\n
27.8.2008. The relevant portion of the said order reads as follows:<\/p>\n
            “In view of the above, the OA is allowed. It is declared<\/p>\n
WPC 1943\/09                            2<\/span><\/p>\n
      that regularization of the applicant’s service in the grade of
\n      LDC shall be with effect from 1.7.1977 i.e., the date of his
\n      initial engagement and he is entitled to consequential seniority.
\n      However, as in the other case, he would be entitled to notional
\n      fixation of pay without any monetary benefits. On the basis of
\n      his revised seniority, if the applicant is entitled to higher
\n      promotion, the same be considered and granted from the date
\n      his immediate junior was promoted and the seniority in
\n      respective posts (UDC and Assistant as the case may be)
\n      rescheduled. His entitlement to monetary benefit on account of
\n      the advancement      of the seniority would be reckoned only
\n      prospectively    after the review DPC takes place         and his
\n      promotion date altered. In so far as promotion to the higher
\n      grade of Superintendent is concerned, his seniority in the grade
\n      of Assistant as arrived at now would be considered.        As the
\n      drill involves review of seniority right from LDC and also
\n      review of promotion        to the post of UDC and Assistants,
\n      sufficient time would be required for the same, as the revised
\n      seniority has to be prepared after due notice to the affected
\n      parties. Hence, a period of 8 months is granted to implement
\n      this order. Again, it is made clear that in case the time granted
\n      falls short, respondents may move the Tribunal for further
\n      extension, before the expiry of the time allowed, by way of a
\n      Misc. Application, reflecting therein the extent of action taken,
\n      by narrating chronological sequence of events and justifying
\n      the extent of further time sought.     Any inordinate delay in
\n      initiation of action etc., would not be a justification in seeking
\n      further extension of time.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The petitioner\/applicant has been granted all possible reliefs, except arrears<\/p>\n
of salary. Claiming that he should be paid arrears of salary also, this Writ<\/p>\n
Petition is filed.\n<\/p>\n
      2. We notice that normally, arrears of pay and allowances are granted<\/p>\n
on   retrospective promotion, if only the Tribunal finds that the person<\/p>\n
WPC 1943\/09                             3<\/span><\/p>\n
concerned has been denied promotion\/regularization in time without any<\/p>\n
justification. In all other cases, arrears are granted with effect from the date<\/p>\n
of the order and not from the date the order is given notional effect. In this<\/p>\n
case, we notice that there is no wilful omission from the part of the<\/p>\n
respondents to regularize or promote the petitioner\/applicant. He claimed<\/p>\n
the relief of retrospective regularization from 1.7.1977,        only in 2006.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we feel that the Tribunal has rightly declined the benefit of back<\/p>\n
wages. No ground has been made out, warranting interference with the<\/p>\n
order of the Tribunal at the instance of the writ petitioner. Accordingly, the<\/p>\n
Writ Petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                           K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
                           K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
