The petitioners, who number 218, are teachers in various Government primary schools, seeking for counting of adhoc service for proficiency step-up and for re-fixation of pay on such basis. This Court has directed the above case to be taken up along with CWP No.7103 of 1991 and the said writ petition was ordered on 10.05.1991 to be heard along with CWP No.3094 of 1990. The said writ petition i.e. CWP No.3094 of 1990 has been disposed of along with the batch of writ petitions in CWP No.2909 of 1990 by a Bench of this Court on 05.01.1995, allowing for such a favourable consideration in reckoning Civil Writ Petition No.15794 of 1991 (O&M) - 2 - the adhoc service for the number of years of service for proficiency step-up. It appears that the above case alone has been left out at the time when the batch of CWP No.2909 of 1990 was taken up. In terms of the said judgment in CWP No.2909 of 1990, the petitioners are entitled to obtain consideration for proficiency step-up in terms of the circular dated 01.12.1988 and for grant of senior scale/selection scale in terms of the notification dated 17.02.1989 by counting the total service including the adhoc service rendered by them prior to the regularization of the service. 2. The writ petition is allowed on the above terms. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE 24.08.2011 sanjeev
