CW 14189/09 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.14189/2009 Jaipal Singh Versus R.S.R.T.C. & Ors. Date of Order : 13/11//09 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. NK Singhal, for petitioner Instant petition has been filed with the grievance that despite petitioner having completed 18 years’ service while working as vehicle driver but benefit of 2nd selction scale having become due on completion of 18 years’ service has been denied to him. Under Right to information Act, petitioner submitted application in pursuance whereof, he has been informed vide letter dt. 09/07/09 (Ann.2) that he has completed 18 years’ service on 2/07/06 but because of unsatisfactory record of service, benefit of 2nd selection scale was not granted to him and it has been clarified therein that vide orders dt.23/12/99, 28/06/2000, 24/10/2000, 25/10/2000, 29/03/03, 31/03/03 and 28/02/2004, on various occasions, he was punished and penalties of fine were imposed upon him and that part, his increments as a penalty were also withheld. Counsel informs to this Court that minor penalty of stoppage of increments without CW 14189/09 //2// cumulative effect has been inflicted upon petitioner. Selection scale cannot be claimed as matter of right. It is always based on satisfactory record of service. If petitioner holds unsatisfactory service record as referred to in letter dt.09/07/09 (Ann.2), certainly he can not claim that despite unsatisfactory service record, selection scale could be granted to him merely for the reason that he has completed 18 years of service. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p.2/ 14189CW09NOv13-Ds2ndSelScl.doc
