Original petitions disposed of; no liability or right flows from the Tribunal order to either party.

JUDGMENT

¶43

Vinod Chandran, J.

¶44

Respondents are the applicants before the Tribunal. The respondents were employees of the Kendriya Vidyalaya who proceeded on deputation to the Department of Revenue and were working under the Pay and Accounts Officer, Customs, Cochin. While they were on deputation, they were granted a promotion. The petitioners, by virtue of their long service, already were in the scale of pay of the promoted post which they obtained as per the first financial up-gradation under the Assured Career Progression Scheme. The petitioners claimed further up-gradation to the Pay Band-I Grade Pay of Rs.2,800/-. This was granted by the Tribunal but however when the original petition was pending here, it is stated that the petitioners were absorbed in the Revenue Department and the Kendriya Vidyalaya has also settled all dues with respect to their service with the Revenue Department.

¶45

In such circumstances, now nothing survives as between the respondents here and the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan their ties

having been severed completely. Therefore, the original petitions are disposed of holding that no liability or right flows from the order of the Tribunal to either of the parties.
