decision. In this case the punishment had been given even before the order came to be passed on 06.09.1984 giving him promotion. Evidently, the punishment imposing stoppage of two increments without cumulative effect from 01.01.1981 would have come to an end on 01.01.1983 and therefore, at the time when the order was passed issuing a promotion, there was no currency of punishment to fetter the Corporation from actually giving effect to the promotion order. If the order of the year 1984 had not been given effect, it was also because of pendency of yet another criminal case but when that resulted in being quashed and when he was also reinstated into service, it should have been taken to a logical end by making the order of promotion effective from the year 1984 itself. The petitioner must be taken as, therefore, promoted on 06.09.1984 itself with the notional benefits and given effect to from the actual date when he assumed charge. If there are arrears payable on such reworking, the same shall be released within a period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. The petitioner's entitlement to further promotion as Deputy Manager will be considered and if the petitioner has in the meanwhile superannuated, the arrears of salary attached to the post shall be reworked and the terminal benefits shall be given on such basis. The arrears of any further terminal benefits would also be worked out and given to the petitioner within 12 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
