(Oral) In paragraph-7 of the order dated 21.07.2008, whereby Writ Petition (S/S) No. 83 of 2004 was disposed of, it was observed as under:- “7. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that since the promotion to the post of Junior Engineer is subjudice in the S.L.P. (Civil) No. 6655 of 2006 before the Hon’ble Apex Court, therefore, if Uttaranchal Power Corporation, Dehradun is in short of Assistant Engineer and the promotion is most urgent, in the public interest, they may make ad hoc promotion by preparing a zone of consideration list according to the date of substantive appointments of the petitioners. The said promotion shall purely be ad hoc in nature subject to the decision of the aforesaid S.L.P. Learned counsel for the rival parties are agreed, that the words “of the petitioners” occurring immediately after the words “substantive appointments” in the first sentence of paragraph-7, be deleted. Having considered the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the parties, we are satisfied, that the deletion of the words “of the petitioners” after the words “substantive appointments” in the first sentence of paragraph-7, would be just and appropriate. Accordingly, the 2 aforesaid words are hereby ordered to be deleted from paragraph-7 of the impugned order dated 21.07.2008. The instant appeal stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
