ORDER :

“We direct RBI to grant notional promotion to Mr. Nair on the post of Assistant Manager Grade ‘A’ to be effective from the date of presentation of the writ petition before the High Court, i.e. 27th September, 2006 and actual promotion from 15th September, 2014, i.e. the last date for compliance of the order of the High Court. This exercise must be completed within a period of 2 (two) months from date. The monetary benefits accruing to Mr. Nair with effect from 15th September, 2014 shall be computed and released by 4 (four) months from date.

Since Mr. Nair has a couple of years for his retirement on superannuation, it is needless to observe that in computing his retiral benefits due regard shall be given to his promotion, as directed above, with effect from 27th September, 2006.
