examination was held in November, 2018. Respondents have taken their own time in publishing the result and, in fact, result was published in March, 2019 along with the result of next junior batch. Learned counsel further submits that petitioners cannot be made to suffer on account of lapse of the respondents in holding the examination and publishing result. He submits that when the academic course was completed in May, 2017, respondents consumed more than one year six months in holding examination and thereafter they took four months in publishing the result. For their delay in holding the examination and publishing result, petitioners cannot be made to suffer adversely in the matter of payment of the benefit of trained scale. If there is no dispute that the petitioners were sent for training in academic sessions 2013-15 and the course was completed in May, 2017, there is no reason to deny the benefit of trained scale to these petitioners with effect from May, 2017 when the course was completed as the petitioners have completed their training but for the reason best known to the respondents the examination was not held in time and the result was published belatedly along with the junior batch.
