(1.) In terms of the impugned judgment, the learned Single Judge has held the petitioners entitled to the benefit of Career Advancement Scheme (hereinafter referred to as CAS-I) to be given after completion of 8 years of service, instead of their entitlement as canvassed by the State, to the benefit of Assured Career Progression (hereinafter referred to as ACP).
(2.) Before us it is not in dispute that even though the writ petitioners claimed several reliefs, yet their petition was allowed, limited only to such prayer and no challenge for rejection/nonconsideration of other prayers is laid before us.
(3.) Pursuant to advertisement dated 16.04.1997 (Annexure-P/1 to the writ petition), vide office order dated 05.08.1997, writ petitioners were appointed as Junior Engineer (Civil) on a fixed pay of Rs.2,500/- per month. Crucially, such appointment was purely temporary in nature, on fixed pay basis and in any event, not to confer any right for appointment on regular basis.
