The Central Government, vide a communication dated September 1, 1983, provided certain special adhoc and temporary incentives to the employees posted in North-Eastern region. The special adhoc incentives were granted with a view that the officers accept their posting in the hardship stations in North Eastern region. Pursuant to the above communication, the appellant Bank issued circulars adopting the proposal for grant of incentives. As the incentives were not applicable to the directly recruited officers of the Bank, they filed a writ petition in High Court.
