Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: Mr. Atul Yadav, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr.DAG, Haryana, for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The second Assured Career Progression (for short, “ACP”) has been denied to the petitioner on the ground that he does not have 20 years regular qualifying service till the date of his voluntary retirement on 31.1.2009. It is stated that services of the petitioner were regularised with effect from 1.1.1991 and adhoc service and non-qualifying service would not be countable for grant of ACP as per Government instructions. Counsel for the petitioner, on the other hand, points out that the petitioner was granted first ACP in CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.17543 OF 2010 :{ 2 }: the year 1997. Accordingly, he would be entitled to second ACP with effect from 1.7.2007. In the reply, it is pointed out that first ACP was inadvertently given to the petitioner with effect from 1.7.1997, which was subsequently corrected as adhoc service was not required to be counted. Since the petitioner was regularized with effect from 1991, the action taken by the respondents is just and reasonable. No case for interference in exercise of writ jurisdiction is, thus, made out. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. September 19, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) khurmi JUDGE
