State Of Haryana vs Haryana Veterinary & A.H.T.S. ...

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether service rendered by an ad hoc appointee can be counted towards the 12 years of service required for higher pay scales under the Government of Haryana's circular dated 2.6.1989. The Court held that only regular service, as per the Recruitment Rules, qualifies for such benefits, thus affirming the interpretation that ad hoc service does not count towards the requisite period. The appeal was decided in favor of the State of Haryana, denying the claim for higher pay scale based on ad hoc service.
