Tribunal to extent of not granting notional pay fixation form 1987 and increments thereon as illegal arbitrary and against the principles of natural justice and further direct the respondents 1 to 4 to fix my pay from June 1987 along with others who joined services in June 1987 and notional promotions and increments thereon par with others and pass such other order or orders. Counsel for the Petitioner:SMT.S.A.V.RATNAM Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.B.NARASIMHA SARMA The Court made the following : ORDER: (Per Sri Justice V.Eswaraiah). The petitioner filed O.A.No.949 of 1996 on the file of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad for directing the respondents to protect his seniority along with the batch in which they were selected and to revise the seniority list placing the petitioner in appropriate place of the seniority list. The said O.A.949 of 1996 was disposed of by order dated 04.11.1997 for protection of his seniority in the cadre of STS as per the material list provided by the Union Public Service Commission at the time of his initial selection to the service provided. He is promoted to the STS cadre in the first instance by following the necessary rules. It was also further directed that it has to be considered for his future promotion on the basis of the seniority, as per the merit list provided by the Union Public Service Commission. Though he was recruited 1985 batch and was sent for training belatedly, his service was protected. We are of the opinion that the other questions are sought to be argued with regard to the fixation of pay. The other contention that be so, we are of the opinion that as per the contention of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner the notional fixation of his pay is not on par with his juniors and that payment of the salary cannot be considered, as he was promoted after completion of the requisite years of the services as per rule. Therefore, he cannot ask for promotion on par with his juniors from the earlier date. We do not see any jurisdictional error or infirmity to interfere with the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J _______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY,J 30th July, 2009 Ivd/Bvs
