RAJIB LOCHAN GOSWAMI Vs. CENTRAL COAL FIELDS LTD.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard the parties finally.

(2.) PETITIONER 's grievance is that he should have been given notional promotion from category -I to Grade -III after completion of one year from his joining, i.e. w.e.f. 10.10.1992, whereas he has been given such benefit from 26.12.1993. Mr. Sahni, learned Counsel for the petitioner, further submitted that other persons were given such benefit just after completion of one year from the respective dates of their appointment.

(3.) MR . Sahni, in reply, submitted that other persons were also sent for training and it is also not known why petitioner has been given Grade -Ill with effect from 26.12.1993 if he completed one year training period on 10.10.1992. He further submitted that when petitioner was given Grade -II in 1997, then cause of action arose, and then he contended that he should have been given Grade -I notionally from 10.10.1992, which grievance remained pending for a long time and thereafter such claim was rejected and therefore there was no delay on the part of the petitioner in raising the claim in question.
