Thereafter, the Central Administrative Tribunal was moved by the respondent companytending inter alia that as he had been officiating on ad hoc basis in the post of Storekeeper companytinuously till he was selected and regularly appointed to the post of Storekeeper, the entire period of companytinues officiation would ensure to his benefit for the purpose of fixing seniority in the cadre of Storekeeper.
The Naval Department has given appropriate fitment in the scale of a Storekeeper to Sri Pillai after giving credit for the officiation in the said post but so far as the seniority to the cadre of Storekeeper is companycerned, the seniority has been given only from the date when he was regularised in the post of Storekeeper.
Sri Pillai felt aggrieved for number getting seniority by companyputing the period spent on ad hoc service as a Storekeeper.
It is an admitted case that the said Sri pillai was given ad hoc appointments to the post of Storekeeper at Goa and while he had been companytinuing in such ad hoc appointments, he was regularised in the post of Storekeeper.
Claiming seniority by reckoning ad hoc service, he made a representation to the Naval Department which was rejected.
Such companytention has been accepted by the Central Administrative Tribunal by the impugned order.
Heard learned companynsel for the parties.
Leave granted.
