The issue involved in this writ application is only to the effect that as to whether the petitioners were entitled to get the benefit of time bound promotion with effect from 1.4.1981 or 27.3.1987.

No. 2524 of 1996 disposed of on 8th May, 1997. In that view of the matter, this writ application is also disposed of in identical terms. Though the petitioners will not be subjected to any recovery, but their effective date of grant of time bound promotion shall be 25.3.1987 and all the benefits will flow on that basis.
