The batch of the Writ Petitions was disposed of with the following directions: “ (1) There will be a direction to the respondents to see whether 60% of the 70 % vacancies in the cadre of SSAs in Rampur Circle are filled up from among the Helpers. If not, steps shall be taken to fill up those posts by promotion from among the Helpers. In the process, the petitioners shall be considered for regular promotion, in view of the stand already taken by the Board that they would be entitled to all the benefits as regular employees with effect from the date of their promotion. There shall be no inter circle transfer against the vacancies available in the 60% quota of helpers until the adhoc promotees are regularized. (2) This exercise shall be completed within a period of four months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. (3) In view of the stand taken in the reply, in case any steps are taken for promotion to the posts of Junior Engineer, the petitioners shall also be considered, if they are otherwise eligible, ignoring the only objection of being ad hoc promotees, in the cadre of SSAs in the light of the stand in the reply.” 2. The petitioner being similarly situated, this Writ Petition is disposed of in terms of the directions, as extracted above. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. December 21, 2010.
