VAMAN DATTATRY GADAGKAR vs DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POSTS, BOMBAY

The Supreme Court held that the appellant is entitled to the benefit of FR 22-c upon promotion as Lower Selection Grade Accountant, as the Central Administrative Tribunal had initially granted this relief but later mistakenly denied it in a clarification petition. The Court found merit in the appellant's arguments and noted that the government had conceded this claim. Consequently, the appeal was partly allowed, directing the department to fix the appellant's pay under FR 22-c upon promotion.
