¶195

Learned counsel for the parties are in agreement that the controversy involved in these writ petitions are squarely covered by the judgment dated 22.08.2022 rendered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Union of India and Others v. Ex. HC/GD Virender Singh reported in AIR 2022 Supreme Court

3942.

(11 of 12)

[CW-6519/2020]

The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Union of

¶200

India (supra) has held as under :-

¶201

“ 11. On the third aspect, we should record the concession rightly made by the Additional Solicitor General during the course of the hearing that the personnel working in the Central Armed Forces would be granted financial benefit under the MACP Scheme on completion of prescribed years of regular service by relaxation in cases where, on account of administrative or other reasons, they could not be sent for participation in pre-promotional course. The appellant-Union of India has agreed to accept the directions given by the Delhi High Court in the case of Ram Avtar Sharma v. Director General of Border Security Force⁹ in this regard. A liberal, pragmatic and ameliorative approach is required to succour genuine grievances of the personnel doing duty for the nation, owing to which they forgo participation in pre-promotional courses. Accordingly, the third question is answered against the appellant-Union of India.

¶202

12. In view of the aforesaid discussion, the appeals filed by the Union of India are partly allowed and impugned judgments, to the extent they hold that the MACP Scheme applies with effect from 1.1.2006 and that under the MACP Scheme the employees are entitled to financial upgradation equivalent to the next promotional post, are set aside. MACP Scheme is applicable with effect from 1.9.2008 and as per the MACP Scheme, the entitlement is to financial upgradation equivalent to the immediate next grade pay in the hierarchy of the pay bands as stated in Section 1, Part A of the First Schedule to the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008. The third issue, which relates to the fulfilment of pre-promotional norms for grant of financial upgradation, is decided against the appellant-Union of India to the extent that this would not be insisted in the case of the Central Armed Forces personnel where, for administrative or other reasons, they could not be sent or undergo the pre-promotional course.”

¶203

(12 of 12) [CW-6519/2020]

¶204

In view of the above joint submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, these writ petitions are disposed of in terms of the judgment dated 22.08.2022 rendered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Union of India (supra).

¶205

All the pending applications as well as stay petitions are also stands disposed of.
