In pursuance to our order dated 7.8.2006, learned counsel for the respondents has placed on record a copy of the appointment order dated 7.9.2006 appointing the petitioner on the post of Driver in Haryana Raj Bhavan. However, the order of appointment does not reveal that the appointment has been made with effect from the date persons lower in order of merit have been permitted to join and work i.e. December, 2004.
