dispensed with, from the date of issue of this order passed in G.O.No.154, Personnel and Administrative Reforms (FR-IV) Department, dated 26.10.2010. The request of the petitioner has been considered by the Government with reference to G.O.Ms.No.154 dated 26.10.2010 and rejected the request of the petitioner. It is averred in the counter affidavit that in the case of K.Uma Maheswari and T.Gunasekaran referred to by the petitioner in the affidavit, since they had joined duty as early as in the year 2010 i.e., before the issuance of G.O.Ms.no.154, dated 26.10.2010, their request has been considered and sanctioned two advance increments. In the case of the petitioner, she has joined duty as an Agricultural Officer only on 25.02.2013, hence, she is not eligible to two advance increments. It is also stated in the counter affidavit that in the instant case, the petitioner herein passed Master of Business Administration. As the Government dispensed with the system of awarding sanction of advance increment to the Government Officials acquiring Master of Business Administration Degree from the date of the issuance of G.O.Ms.No.154, dated 26.10.2010, the request of the petitioner for sanction of advance increment after possessing Post Graduate Degree of Master of Business Administration, cannot be considered. The Government, in letters dated 18.12.2013 and 21.02.2019
