with all consequential benefits as per orders dated 04.09.2014. As per G.O.Rt.No.65, dated 02.08.2017 some of the work inspectors services were regularized including the petitioner by condoning the break in service and permitted to regularize the service of the petitioner on notional basis, accordingly the 2nd respondent issued proceedings dated 14.09.2017 and fixed time scale. While the matter stood thus, the 1st respondent framed certain charges against the petitioner vide G.O.Rt.No.46, dated 11.05.2018, for which the petitioner was submitted explanation and in view of pendency of charge, the case of the petitioner was not considered for promotion to the post of Assistant Engineer, though his name is shown as Sl.No.8 in the Seniority List of Graduate Assistant Engineer. Meantime, his juniors were promoted as Assistant Engineer. Therefore the petitioner filed W.P.No.5022 of 2021 and this Court passed order dated 08.04.2021 directed the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion to the next higher category as per G.O.Ms.No.257, dated 10.06.1999. Accordingly the 2nd respondent considered the case of the petitioner, but there arose certain irregularities and his juniors and other 25 Work Inspectors were promoted as Assistant Engineers, their services were also regularized with effect from 2008, 2009 basing on their original date of joining in the corporation. The petitioner also similarly situated like above said persons and he is entitled for promotion as Assistant Engineer notionally with effect from 15.08.2008 onwards. Extending the said benefit to certain candidates and denying the same in the case of the petitioner is illegal and arbitrary. Hence writ petition came to be filed.
