He further submitted that petitioners would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to accord consideration to their cases for their placement in the higher grade keeping in view the said judgment. On the other hand, AAG SC Gupta submitted that the respondents would have no objections for considering the cases of petitioners in the light of above said judgment provided they are eligible under rules. While according such consideration, Justice Nargotra said the judgment of Roshan Din Choudhary Vs State shall also be kept in view. The petitioners shall provide a copy of the said judgment and any other record which they want to rely in support of their case to the competent authority. The respondents shall take decisions in the matter within a period of two months. JNF |
