Rejecting these reasons given by State and observing that even the State was silent as to whether promotions were fortuitious, the Tribunal allowed the applications of direct recruits and directed the appellants to determine inter-se seniority by following the quota rules.In appeal to this Court by State as well as some of the promotees it was contended on behalf of the appellants that (i) the Tribunal erred in rejecting the reasons given by the State for not making direct recruitment as per rules; (ii) the ad hoc service rendered by promotees should be reckoned for computing seniority; (iii) the promotees were not appointed fortuitiously; and (iv) as the concerned provisions laying down ratio between direct recruits and promotees were executive instructions having no statutory force, the State could deviate from the ratio laid down. |
