The Union of India is aggrieved by the order dated 12^th December 2019 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal (in short, “Tribunal”) in Original Application No.642 of 2015 and connected matters.

¶9

The Tribunal held that the applicant was entitled to the benefits of services rendered by him as casual employee prior to the date of his regularisation for the purpose of grant of financial upgradation under the ACP Scheme. Thus, the benefits were directed to be granted to the respondent by counting the service rendered by him on casual/daily rated basis from 1983 until 1989 for the purpose of grant of benefits under the ACP Scheme.
