(ORAL) (1). The petitioners have sought a direction for counting of ad hoc service for the purpose of fixation of their pay in the revised pay-scale and thereafter for the purpose of Senior Scale/Selection Grade and for granting them Proficiency Step-Up accordingly. (2). Learned State counsel fairly admits that the ad hoc service can be counted only for the purpose of pay fixation in the Time Scale but the said benefit cannot be extended for the purpose of granting the benefit of Proficiency Step-Up etc. as such benefits are to be granted to an employee only on the ‘satisfactory regular service’.
