Mulchandbhai Lavjibhai Patel &amp;<br \/>\nOrs<\/a>. reported in 2004(1) GLR pg. 536.  The said order<br \/>\nreads as under ;-\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\"> Admit.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\"> Mr.  I.S. Supheia, learned Advocate, waives notice of admission on<br \/>\nbehalf of the respondents.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\"> The  sole  question,  which  has  emerged for our consideration and adjudication  in  this  Letters  Patent Appeal  under  Clause  15 of the Letters Patent is, as to whether the requisite period of service in the same Grade \/ Scale for the purpose  of  earning  benefit  of Higher  Grade \/ Scale is to be considered in the same district or the  period  of  service in more than one district in the same cadre in the same scale is to be counted and clubbed in  terms  of  the  provisions  of para  3  (2)  of  the Resolution  of  the Government dated 16-08-1994, to which our unambiguous and explicit answer is that the requisite period to be counted is not only of  particular  district in the same cadre and scale, but also the period spent in  a  district  on transfer and even at the request of the  employee.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\">2.\tThe appellants in this Letters Patent Appeal have assailed   the  judgment  of  the  learned  Single  Judge rendered in Special Civil Application  No.10469  of 1999 whereby the respondents-original petitioners, who are the employees  of  the  Home Department and working as Police Constables, were granted the benefit of  the  Scheme  of Higher  Grade &#8211; Scale on  completion of the requisite  period of service of 9 years despite the fact  the  said  period  was not in one district in the same cadre, but in different districts on transfer upon request.  Thus,  the learned  Single  Judge has held that in order to earn the  entitlement for  the  benefit  of Higher  Grade  formula pursuant  to  the Government Resolution dated 16-08-1995, the period spent in more than one district could also  be clubbed. Such a request  was  turned  down  by  the appellants-authorities  on  the  ground  that  respondents-original petitioners   had   not  completed  requisite period of 9 years of service in the same  cadre in the same district.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">3.\tThe original petitioners were working  as  Police Constables  in Sabarkantha District at the relevant time.  Their request to the appellant authorities to  give them benefit  of  Higher  Grade  Scale as they had completed 9 years of service in the same cadre,  though not  in  the same district was rejected. The interpretation made by the Authorities of the said resolution of the  Government was  challenged  in  a Writ Petition being Special Civil  Application No.10469 of 1999, which came to be decided in  favour  of  the respondents-original   petitioners   on 12-09-2002 by the learned Single Judge, which is directly under challenge in this Letters Patent Appeal before us.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">4.\tThe original-petitioners were workings as  Police Constables in Sabarkantha District.  Initially, they were appointed in  other districts.  Later on, they came to be transferred in the same cadre to another district, namely, Sabarkantha District on request. On completion of total period of  9  years  in  service  including  the period served in more than one district like that pre and post transfer,  they  moved  concerned Department of the Government for the purpose of Higher Grade Scale  relying on  the  provisions  of  para  3(2)  of  the Government Resolution, dated  16-08-1994.    The said resolution  provides  that the Higher Grade Scale would be granted on the basis of seniority and completion of 9 years  in  the same cadre  at  the  first  stage.    The  request of the original-petitioners  made  to  the   original-respondent Authorities,  for Higher Grade Scale, at the first stage, in the same cadre is available on completion of 9  years, provided  the  employee  has  not  earned  two promotions during the period and the  same  requisite  period  of  9  years is completed after regular appointment and the same is  considered  for  the purpose of seniority in the same      cadre in  the  same  scale,  was  turned  down  on  these grounds.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\"> 5.\tAgain,  it  was  the stand of the Department that the transfers were effected on a  personal  request from  one district to another district though in the same cadre  and,  therefore,  the  requisite  period  of  9 years for  claiming the benefit of Higher  Grade  Scale  has  to be counted in the same district and the services rendered in different districts  cannot  be  clubbed. However, the learned Single Judge allowed the  petition and  directed the  appellant Authorities to grant the benefit of Higher Grade \/ Scale to the original petitioners, respondents in this Letters Patent Appeal, by taking  into  account  and consideration of the period of services rendered in other districts  for  the purpose  of  computing the requisite  spell of 9 years of service from the due date and, also granted consequential  benefits.   It was, therefore, the view of the learned Single Judge that the total length of service in the same cadre is to be considered by clubbing together the tenure of the pre-transfer and post-transfer services  in  two  or more districts, as the case may be, even if such transfers were on their own requests.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">5.\tAfter having taken into consideration  the  rival      submissions  advanced  before us and the text and context of the impugned judgment of the learned Single Judge  and the design and desideratum of the  Resolution of the Government in Finance Department  of  State  of  Gujarat  dated  16-08-1994,  we  are of the clear opinion that the view perceived  by  the  learned  Single  Judge  and  the ultimate  conclusion  recorded  in directing to grant the benefit of the said resolution is quite justified.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_16\">7.\tIt  is  found  from the record that para-3 in the State Government Resolution is the outcome of  several representations  of  the  employees   and   anomalous situational realities in pay and perks of the Government employees  and  the  recommendations made by the Finance Minister.   The  main  design  and desideratum  of   the provision  incorporated in para 3 relatable to the ground  for the benefit of Higher Grade Scale  on  completion  of requisite period of 9, 18 and 27 years in the same cadre,  has been, to see that the employee, who has not been able  to earn a promotion for requisite period, does not become a  victim  of frustration  and,  also,  to see that some incentive is enthused to one who has  not  been  able  to  earn  the promotion more than once in the same grade and cadre and is stuck up.  Such provision appears to  be to encourage   the  efficiency  in  the  administration  and discourage the frustration.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_17\">8.\tThe interpretation of  the  appellant-authorities that  the  employees  shall  not have entitlement even on completion of the requisite period of 9 years,  18 years or  27 years, (which is later on revised) as the case may be, unless the employee has completed continuously  the period of 9 years in the same cadre in the same district, is neither   legal   nor  logical.  It is,  also,  not compatible with the object of the said Resolution of  the Government.  It  is not the place where the employee has served that counts.  It is the total period, that may  be in  more than one districts even on his request transfer, that has to be taken into consideration.  In our opinion  therefore, the employees are entitled to the  benefit  of Higher  Grade Scale on completion of the requisite period of 9 years at the  first  stage,  even  by  clubbing  the period  in  the  same  grade,  not  seniority in the same district, even in case of transfer on request.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_18\">9.\tThe view, which we are inclined to take, is  also very  much  reinforced  and supported by the observations made in the decision of  the  Apex  Court in  <a href=\"\/doc\/314685\/\" id=\"a_1\">Scientific  Advisory to Raksha  Mantri  and another V.  V.M.  Joseph<\/a>,  1998 AIR SCW 2226.  Therein, it has been  held  that  on  transfer  on compassionate ground on request of employee,  the employee is placed at the bottom of Seniority List at transferred place. However,  thereby,  the  period  of service rendered by the employee at earlier places cannot be   excluded from  consideration  in  determining  his eligibility for promotion, as eligibility and  promotion are two distinct and different factors.  The proposition and law on this score  is  very  well  expounded  by  the Hon&#8217;ble Apex  Court  in  S.C.    Mandakki  and Others Vs. Director of Health and Family Welfare Service and Others, (1996) 8 SCC 11.  The material observations are  made  in para-5  of  the  said  judgment  which are very relevant, which we  have  considered.  It  has been   succinctly   expounded  by  the  Hon&#8217;ble  Apex Court in Dwijen Chandra  Sarkar and another Vs. Union of India and  another,  AIR  1999 SC 598 that the past services of the employees is to  be  counted  for the limited purpose for eligibility for computing the number of years of  qualifying  service  to  enable  them to claim Higher Grade Scale under the Scheme  of Time Bound Promotions. The rational and philosophy of Time Bound Promotion is also  very  well  highlighted in this decision.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_19\">10.\tIn the net result, we find no substance  in  this Letters Patent Appeal.  Therefore, the appeal shall stand  dismissed.    There   shall   be   no   orders  in Civil Application.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_20\">3.\t\tIn view of the aforesaid order, this petition is also disposed of on the same lines.  Rule is made absolute to the aforesaid extent. No order as to costs. It is however, observed that all the consequential dues shall be paid to the petitioner within a period of four months.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_21\">[K.S.
